Ensuring that every student can thrive in the regional STEM economy
Our work revolves around four pillars of STEM education:
Integrating Business and Education
to provide authentic STEM experiences for students and teachers
FREE Earth Science Online Platform
FREE open-access Earth science textbook and virtual fieldwork experiences
Earth@Home is your free online toolkit for learning about Earth and its 4.5-billion-year history for teachers or family's to use independently, with a focus on geology, paleontology, climate, and the connections of Earth’s different systems.
We are excited to share that PRI has developed a free new online learning platform designed to help anyone in the United States learn about the Earth where they live. Earth@Home™ is rich with interactive content about Earth and its life, with a focus on geology, paleontology, climate, and the connections of Earth’s different systems.
The major components of this new online platform include regionally-based guides to Earth science, an online, open-access Earth science textbook, and virtual fieldwork experiences that will bring Earth science to the online classroom. We encourage you to use the regional guides to learn about local geology and the landscape right outside your backdoor!
Earth@Home™ aims to teach everyone about the natural environment where they live. The open-access Earth science textbook and virtual fieldwork experiences, which are accessible to all learners, will also help educators create robust Earth science lesson plans and offer free learning resources for their students to utilize.
This website will continue to grow considerably over the next several years and we can't wait to share updates with you! Be sure to sign up with your email address on Earth@Home™ to receive updates and notifications whenever new resources are added.

For Michigan Schools and Educators
September 22, 2020
LANSING – The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) will be hosting three virtual job fairs, open to employers of educators and educational support staff, as well as all individuals seeking to work in the education field.
“A top priority at MDE is helping schools meet the diverse needs of Michigan’s students,” said State Superintendent Dr. Michael F. Rice. “One of the ways we can do that is to connect schools and districts with qualified candidates. Now, more than ever, it is essential that we help ensure that every student is supported in their learning journey.”
Increasing the numbers of certified teachers, especially in areas of shortage, is one of the eight goals of the state’s updated Top 10 Strategic Education Plan.
The three MDE virtual job fairs will be held on the following dates:
• October 7, 2020
• March 3, 2021
• June 16, 2021
