Environmental Alternative Spring Break Application, 2021
Environmental Alternative Spring Break (EASB) provides a unique opportunity for UW students to facilitate hands-on environmental and earth science education in K-12 classrooms throughout Washington. All of the EASB team members will adapt and design a curriculum in partnership with NASA to lead during Spring Break. The topic of each week-long curriculum will be based largely on the needs of the school, but project and activity creation will be up to you. In addition to teaching, EASB also emphasizes the importance of deepening community relationships. Each team seeks out ways to get involved in the community they partner with through high school visits, community events, and visiting local organizations.

NOTE: While we are tentatively planning to visit sites in person, we are prepared to teach curriculum remotely over spring break.

As an EASB member, you will be required to attend a 4 credit weekly-seminar during Winter Quarter (Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:30-5:50 pm). The trip will take place throughout Spring Break from Sunday, March 21st to Friday, March 26th, 2021.


APPLICATION EXTENDED UNTIL JANUARY 13th
