Triangle Education Team designs dynamic school assembly programs for agencies that ignite school-wide interest. They supplement assemblies with well-designed classroom workshops that enhance student learning. They also provide training and materials that motivate teachers to continue the discussion throughout the school year. Their initial focus was on recycling and waste reduction has expanded as new issues have emerged to include water quality, household hazardous waste, electrical safety, climate change, and renewable energy including geothermal power.
