Education

​The Institute has a dedicated management staff composed of educators who will interact with school children, prepare exhibits for public viewing, and interact with the researchers to incorporate their findings and lead visits to their field sites and laboratories.

Enrichment Class

Picture
​The Aucilla Research Institute (ARI) is developing a program involving enrichment classes for local high school students. The program is designed to introduce students to scientific research and modern technology by exposure to hands-on activities in both the field and laboratory.  Class Video 1      Class Video 2

With funding from grants from the William Stamps Farish Fund and the Perkins Charitable Foundation as well as the donation of computers from Surveying and Mapping, LLC (SAM), a high-tech teaching lab (Figure 1) has been set up for the classes in the ARI headquarters in the historic Gerry building in downtown Monticello, Florida.

Working with Educators

The Aucilla Research Institute promotes scientific and historical education in the community through our partnership with the school districts and other educational institutions.  The institute is proud of our recent field program for Wakulla County's fifth-graders and teachers as well as our work with dual-enrolled seniors from Wakulla District this spring.
