The Renewable Energy MRSEC and the Adams and Meeker County Public Schools are collaborating on several partnership programs, the Bechtel K-5 Educational Excellence Initiative, the NSF funded GK-12 Learning Partnership, and the ExxonMobil Meeker Partnership. In these partnerships, CSM graduate students in mathematics, science and engineering are placed in support of elementary and middle school teachers and their students for up to fifteen hours each week throughout the academic year. In remote districts this support is provided via interactive video. Approximately 40 elementary and 10 middle school mathematics and science teachers participate annually, impacting over 2000 students each year. Each participating teacher has the option of remaining in this partnership for up to two years, with three years of continued support immediately following.
