Supporting Environmental Education and Communities (SEEC)

Supporting Environmental Education and Communities (SEEC) aims to increase interest in environmental science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (E-STEM) among K-12 students in Title I schools in the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD). SEEC is part of the donor-funded Community and School Garden Program (CSGP) that trains school children and their teachers to use school gardens to undertake E-STEM research. SEEC directly connects school garden teachers and learners with environmental scientists doing cutting-edge environmental research, supporting them to use their gardens to ask questions and collect and analyze data that supplements ongoing environmental experiments being conducted by local scientists.
