Albemarle Pamlico National Estuary Program staff participated in the 2009 B.L.A.S.T. Science Outdoors Program on April 17, 2009 at Baskerville Elementary School in Rocky Mount, NC. The B.L.A.S.T. program (Building a Lasting Awareness of Science and Technology) is designed to provide the low performing student population with the opportunity to excel in science. Further, the objective of the program is to influence the enrollment and achievement in science of African Americans in Eastern North Carolina. This event coincided with National Environmental Education Week, which took place from April 12-18, 2009. APNEP would like to thank the wonderful staff and students at Baskerville Elementary for their enthusiasm and support during this outstanding event.
