Northrop Grumman Foundation ECO Classroom

The Northrop Grumman Foundation will be taking 16 secondary science teachers to Costa Rica this summer to the La Selva Biological Reserve. They hope to train teachers in data
collection (camera traps, carbon sequestration in forests, satellite image analysis, land use issues, etc.) to heighten their awareness of climate change science. It will be an all expenses paid, two week, intensive field experience starting July 8, 2012.
Interested teachers must form a team of 4 and all members must submit a joint application to participate by March 15, 2012. Teams may be comprised of 4 teachers from the same district or a neighboring district. Teams may be of both middle school and high school teachers but must have at least one high school teacher. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance in early April 2012.


Pass on this information to any teacher you think would be interested!
