Educational Outreach and Programming
We provide on-site educational programs year-round, from day trips to multi-day residential experiences. Programming at AEC is focused at the high school and collegiate level; however we are willing to consider younger groups of advanced students. Developed programs average three hours but can be scaled up or down to accommodate individual group needs. We can build our inquiry-based hands-on programs with you to ensure they match your district curricula and state standards.
Credit bearing short-courses are also offered at the AEC. The course fees associated with these courses supercede all other fees.
Please contact Paul Hai (pbhai@esf.edu) to explore program opportunities and discuss details of your visit to AEC.
