The Minerals Education Coalition (MEC) partners with the American Geosciences Institute’s (AGI) Earth Science Week (ESW) to provide educational resources across the globe at EarthSciWeek.org, in the ESW Toolkit and on the MEC website. The 2024 Earth Science Week, Oct. 13-19, celebrates the theme “Earth Science Everywhere.” A postcard explaining MEC’s new resources is included in the 9,000 ESW Toolkits available for free from AGI’s website. Additionally, MEC has produced the “It All Starts With Mining” educational unit at MineralsEducationCoalition.org/esw. This will include the new MEC “Aggregates in My State” and “The Life Cycle of Rebar” activities in the online lesson plan, and the “Mining Makes Life” activity in the 2024-2025 Earth Science Week Calendar.
