PEEC, as an organization, is dedicated to nature education through hands-on learning. Consequently, we enjoy supporting our young scientists who venture forth to design and perform their own experiments, particularly in the areas of environmental, life, and earth sciences. We have been a proud sponsor of the Los Alamos Public Schools Science Fair since 2003. PEEC Award WinnersEach year, PEEC awards small cash prizes to science fair projects that we feel are good examples of research related to the natural world around us. January 2013
