Discovery Outreach Program

Partners in Education
	U. S. Forest Service, Cordova Ranger District
	Prince William Sound Community College
	Cordova School District
	Prince William Sound Science Center

	Discovery Room educators travel to the Prince William Sound communities of Chenega Bay and Tatitlek, twice during the school year. Essentially, the educators bring the Cordova Discovery Room's interactive science activities to these bush schools. Adults are invited to participate through visits to the school, open house and parent night programs. Discovery Room teachers consider these visits to be one of the most rewarding parts of the program; they work intensively with the students and teachers and receive a warm welcome in the communities. These communities are isolated (all are served by air and water transportation only), and they typically have limited resources in small school systems. The Discovery Room program helps both to improve their access to science resources as well as to encourage excitement about science among Alaska Native youth.
