Alaska Resource Education's seminal high school curriculum, Our Alaska, engages high school students in exploring Alaska’s natural resources and the many careers they support. Through hands-on lessons, guest speakers, and industry presentations, students examine geography, land use, infrastructure, geology, mining, oil and gas, and emerging technologies. They also follow the life cycle of everyday products, from resource extraction and processing to transportation and end use, while discovering opportunities in high-demand fields such as engineering, geology, environmental science, skilled trades, equipment operations, and project management. Our Alaska helps students envision themselves building meaningful careers and contributing to the state’s future.
