Arizona Science Center Joins ASTC to raise awareness about Global Warming on a national level.
IGLO, a project of the Association of Science-Technology Centers on the occasion of International Polar Year (March 2007-March 2009), is designed to raise worldwide public awareness about global warming and ways the polar regions profoundly influence Earth's climate, ecosystems, and human society. Visit www.astc.org/IGLO for more information.
Arizona Science Center has joined ASTC and is participating in a National Conversation on Global Climate Change. Phoenix’s very own Mayor Phil Gordon will be joining the Center to examine ways in which we can better share resources and information on these topics with our visitors. Please check back for the results of this conversation and for more information on this topic.
