"Of Current Interest"

The USGS Oklahoma Water Science Center, with funding from the USGS Youth Initiative program, is conducting educational activities in the earth sciences at three educational facilities in Oklahoma. This project is an educational continuum that is designed to inspire interest in the earth sciences and related fields amongst underprivileged and under-represented students in these fields. Project sites are the Goddard Youth Camp near Sulphur Oklahoma (5th to 6th graders), Santa Fe South Charter School in South Oklahoma City (7th to 8th graders), and Langston University (Associate Degree Program in Hydrology).
