*************************************************

The MICHIGAN EARTH SCIENCE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION was established in 1966.  Our members are K-12 teachers, college and university instructors, students, and other people interested in Earth Science.

 

MESTA is recognized in Michigan and nationally as a leading organization in the promotion of quality Earth Science education.

 

The organization provides quality, low-cost rock, mineral, and fossil specimens for educational use, and our master teacher-members lead many sessions at major state teacher conferences, like MESTA, MDSTA, and MSTA.
