15 pounds of dead markers that will not end up in Maui’s landfill or ocean. Did you know that Crayola has a program called ColorCycle? If you collect the dead m...arkers, they’ll send you a free shipping label and you can ship them back to Crayola to be recycled! My kids found out about this and were so excited to set up boxes at their schools. These markers were collected in just 3 months at my son’s preschool! Imagine what we could divert from landfills during the whole school year at every school! The only problem is, that right now they don’t pay for free shipping in Hawaii or Alaska, so I’m paying the shipping out of my own pocket but it’s totally worth it to not ever find these markers on our beaches! #savemauisreefs #sharkpitdesigns #doyourpart #drowninginplastic #wastefree #recycle #colorcycle #crayola #crayolacolorcycle #maui #hawaii #lahaina See more

NITARP, the NASA/IPAC Teacher Archive Research Program, gets teachers involved in authentic astronomical research. We partner small groups of educators with a mentor professional astronomer for an original research project. The educators incorporate the experience into their classrooms and share their experience with other teachers. The program runs January through January. Applications for the 2019 class of educators are available now and due on Wednesday, September 12, 2018. The program is funded completely via NASA ADAP, and is contingent on the availability of funding.
