History of MESTA:

The Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association was founded in 1966. Our members include K-12 teachers, college and university instructors, students, and anyone interested in the Earth Sciences.

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

Our organization provides quality, low-cost rock, mineral, and fossil specimens for educational use. Our master teacher members lead many sessions at major state teacher conferences (including our own MESTA conference, MDSTA, MSTA, etc.).
