The ATHENA Project

In August 2010, 24 teachers from high schools around Washington State took part in three days of hands-on workshops at the University of Washington. These participants in the Academy for Teaching about Health and Environment Associations (ATHENA) learned how human health is impacted by the places we live, work and play. Back in their classrooms, they took what they had learned in August and created and implemented lesson plans related to environmental and occupational health.

In May 2011, they returned to Seattle to share their work, deepen their knowledge, and reconnect with university faculty, staff and students. This meeting also included a field trip and case study of the Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund site.

Made possible by a grant from the UW Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences. Please contact Jon Sharpe for more information (206-685-5333, jsharpe@uw.edu
