Past Projects
The first AEER class was held in 2023 with 12 students from 11 schools across the city. Year 2 included 13 students from 11 high schools. After learning about EDCs, toxic chemicals, health impacts and environmental justice, the students produced videos and social media posts to educate others on these topics.
