This project is an educational initiative of American
Meteorological Society , designed to foster improved science, mathematics
and technical education in grades K-12, through the use of atmospheric
topics as the vehicle. A partnership of scientists, educators, government
and industry is focusing upon attracting young students into continued
study of science, mathematics and technology. One of the features of Project
ATMOSPHERE has been the formation of the Atmospheric Education Resource
Agent Network (AERA). At least one master teacher in each state has been
selected to act as a resource agent. Contact the AERA agent for your state
.
