Opportunities for Education and Outreach for Employees and Users

Fermilab employees, users, and students who share their time to support our programs are key to their success. Look and see where you can contribute and let us know. If you have ideas for education and outreach that are not listed here, email Spencer Pasero. If you are looking for ideas or materials, please contact Susan Dahl in the Teacher Resource Center. There are also links to resources on the Employees page.

Each year the Fermilab Director presents the Director's Award for exceptional support to Fermilab's K–12 Education programs.
