Snapshot: Kids “Went Wild” Over GASP’s Clean Air Kits

Here's the great news: Teachers in schools across Allegheny County may utiliize 1, 2 or all 3 of the kits completely free of charge.

The first review of GASP’s Clean Air Kits is in, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Here’s what Grounded Strategies Project Manager for Youth Engagement Ashley Seiler said after borrowing one of our kits – which include fun, hands-on activities (one involves pig lungs) that help educate kids about issues related to air quality and health:

Omg! I used the gasp air quality kit tonight and the kids went wild. Does anyone else have it requested? I was going to see if I could borrow it again. It is so fun. Their faces with the pig lung are priceless. I love teaching the lesson. Keep me posted.

The picture Ms. Sieler sent along is worth a million words:

Here's the great news: Teachers in schools across Allegheny County may borrow one, two, or all three of the kits completely free of charge. GASP will also provide free delivery. In addition to the instructional materials included as part of the kits, a member of GASP’s education staff will conduct an Air Quality 101 presentation.
