Outreach Education Fund The AME BC Outreach Education Fund is a corporate endowment dedi- cated to increasing the public's appre- ciation and understanding of B.C.'s mineral exploration industry through the advancement of public education and community programs. For 2013, $22,000 was available for distribution in the form of scholarships (excluding per- sonal scholarships for post-secondary, geology-related education) and monet- ary funding, with a minimum of $1,500 per award for proposed public education and training programs focused on min- eral exploration. The amount of funding for each application is based not only on the merits of the proposed project and funding requests, but also on the num- ber of quality applications in a given year. This award is open to all B.C.-focused projects relating to mineral exploration, with priority given to British Columbia residents, communities, associations and organizations. In 2013, the Mineral Resources Education Program of BC (MineralsEd) was granted $11,800 for co-ordinating K ids & Rocks hands-on classroom workshops for students in kindergarten to Grade 3 in Lower Mainland schools. The Britannia Mine Museum was granted $10,000 to support the ongo- ing development of its education/school program with the main focus on pro- grams related to earth sciences. More specifically, the funding was allocated to the design and development of the Core Explore exhibit. ■ p12-23_Awards.indd 23 14-02-14 3:09 PM
