Mineral Resource Outreach Program

Our Mineral Resource education outreach program provides southern Arizona school students with opportunities to learn the importance of mineral resources to their everyday lives, that those mineral resources are obtained by mining, and the diverse career and education opportunities available to those who want to help society obtain the mineral resources it needs.

We offer four different classroom presentation topics, available virtually and through in-person classroom presentations. These presentation topics can be combined and tailored to classroom specific needs. Our outreach coordinators typically give presentations to multiple classes/groups at each school, usually to each class a teacher is responsible for. We are happy to work with each class depending upon their needs.

Our outreach programs are packed with resources for K-12 and college students, introducing them to the thrilling world of mineral resources. We can’t wait to be your next presenters!
