Description

Outreach Discovery expands the geographic scope of our programs to communities outside of Cordova. Since 1993, educators have adapted Discovery Room materials to deliver programs to students in rural areas. We offer numerous programs based on themes such as water, shorebirds, rainforests, wetlands, ecology, glaciers, ocean technology, and oil spill prevention. Teachers are able to choose lessons that best meet their needs for exposing students to new science learning opportunities and achieving academic benchmarks.
