Teachers Participate in STEM Service Learning Institute

According to the Contra Costa Times, approximately 150 Southern California teachers from 30 districts recently participated in a free three-day STEM Service Learning Institute held in San Bernardino.  Led by USC Professor Robert de Groot, some of the teachers took a geology walk above CSU San Bernardino to learn about plate tectonics as compared to taking apart an Oreo cookie.  Other presenters included staff from South Coast AQMD, Indio high school students, UC Davis's Afterschool Network program director, and NASA/JPL Educator Resource Center in Pomona.  http://www.contracostatimes.com/california/ci_21102840/teachers-learn-about-science-earthquakes-at-cal-state
