The kits contain nearly $400 worth of materials to help provide students and teachers with balanced information about Alaska’s rich heritage with mineral, energy, and forest resources. The kits have been accepted in all of Alaska’s 53 school districts and demand continues to grow. Over 200 kits are distributed each year and over 1,500 Alaskan educators currently use the kit’s materials. Alaska teachers and industry scientists continually revise and update the kits to keep them current.

Currently, Alaska Resource Education is working to incorporate the newly approved Alaska Science standards into its curriculum.
