Cohosted by the Southern Great Plains (SGP) Educational Outreach Program, the EarthStorm Weather Institute Workshop will be held on July 18-21, 2006, in Enid, Oklahoma. The EarthStorm Weather Institute brings together meteorologists from the Norman area and educators from Kansas and Oklahoma to share ideas and resources for teaching meteorological concepts and establish long-term associations for supporting science education. This free four-day workshop, held annually, provides K-12 teachers an opportunity to investigate weather and improve their skills in preparing students to develop science fair projects. For more information, see the EarthStorm website.

The SGP Educational Outreach Program is administered by and in partnership with the Oklahoma Climate Survey, the University of Oklahoma, and the Oklahoma Mesonet.
