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.
