K-12 Outreach

The Outreach Committee's mission is to educate K-12 students, parents, educators, and the general public by demonstrating geological and geophysical concepts and scientific methods.  We provide speakers and hands-on activities for Career Days and Science Fairs at area schools and community events throughout Houston.
