GSN K-12 Field Trip Grants

The Geological Society of Nevada (GSN) Foundation recognizes and supports the need for earth w88 casino games education. An integral part of that education is firsthand experience gained through field trips. Since many of the expenses for field trips, notably transportation, are not paid by the school districts, GSN Foundation has the opportunity to assist, in a meaningful way, by helping to defray some of these expenses.

w88 casino games Kits

The W.M. Keck Museum is proud to offer traveling w88 casino games kits to teachers for use in the classroom. These kits were funded by a grant from the Stout Foundation and are available free of charge to K-12 teachers and other civic groups. The intention of these Keck Kits is to not only provide portable, hands-on earth science education but to also promote the exhibits and activities of the W.M. Keck Museum and the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology. Both institutions are committed to educating the public about earth science and work towards achieving this goal by a variety of in-house and outreach projects.

The kits are available for a two week period and a refundable deposit. The deposit is waived for Northern Nevada educators. Kits must be picked up and returned to the W.M. Keck Earth Science and w88 casino games Engineering Museum at the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, UNR. For more information, call the museum at (775) 784-4528.
