About The Program

The CASE (Changing Alaska Science Education) for enhancing understanding of climate change program partners science graduate teaching fellows with K-12 teachers in the state of Alaska. Graduate fellows work in the classroom alongside of teachers to help teach hands-on science and to present research in a real world context. 

Program goals include:

1) improving science communication skills among graduate students;

2) engaging and inspiring K-12 students to follow science careers;

3) demonstrating that science is stimulating, creative, and fun.
