Rocks, minerals and all things mining were center stage recently at the Nevada Mining Association’s (NVMA) 32nd annual Southern Nevada Mineral Workshop, held in partnership with the Nevada Division of Minerals.
The two-day action-packed workshop welcomed local K-12 educators, teaching them about rocks, minerals, mining, and everything in between, increasing knowledge of earth sciences, how to analyze information to develop lesson plans and highlight the importance of mining and its role in today’s society.
On day one, teachers attended classroom and general sessions, along with group presentations and prize drawings at Faith Lutheran High School. On day two, the teachers attended geologic and mining tours.
