Micron's Headquarters Becomes a Laboratory for Teachers Learning to ``Engineer the Future''

"One
of the best ways to start the preparation is by investing in our
Chemistry , Math, Physics and Physical Science teachers.

The workshop's goal is to use Micron's campus, workstations,
products, programs and more as a valuable learning laboratory.
According to Alecia Baker, Micron's K-12 Program Manager, teachers
will be provided with hands-on activities that bring work science and
math applications to life in a way that they can then incorporate into
their classroom curriculum.
"Micron is providing avenues for students to prepare for and
envision themselves in the jobs of the future," Baker explained . on Saturday, the physical science teachers
will participate in "All Wet," a water purification and deionization
learning activity, beginning at the river and concluding inside
Micron's plant.

BOISE, Idaho----

23 Idaho and Utah teachers will glean real world science and math
curriculum content for their classrooms

On Saturday, March 5, 2005, teachers from across the Treasure
Valley , around the state and as far away as Utah will gather for the
second day of Micron's "Engineering the Future:" A Micron Experience
workshop. In 2004, nearly
four percent of all new hires at Micron reported participation in a
Micron K-12 event that influenced them to apply for work at the
company . The lab deployments include 40 full
student versions of the Academy of Robotics and Academy of Engineering
whole school lab solutions addressing hands-on technological literacy,
math, and science ."

PCS Learning Lab solutions offer a comprehensive technological literacy
solution that takes students from technology basics to advanced engineering
and robotics competence.

Micron places a high priority on improving education, especially
at the K-12 level. Since 1995, through Micron 's Boise-based K-12
program, the lives of more than 160,000 students, parents, teachers
and others involved in education have been touched.m. As a semiconductor manufacturer, Micron is a pioneer
in water recycling and currently recycles a large portion of water
used each day for production at its Boise, Idaho facility. Micron's
reclamation system is a model for change in the water use habits of
the semiconductor manufacturing industry and earned Micron an award
from the Pacific Northwest Section of the American Water Works
Association for Innovation and Commitment to Water Conservation .
PCS Edventures! (OTC BB: PCSV) today announced
additional expansion of its engineering and robotics programs into the
Fresno Unified School District.

Suzy Haislip, Regional Sales Manager and National Representative for the
Magnet School market, said, "This is an exciting addition to our already
significant penetration into Fresno schools and we are delighted to be
working closely with the math, science, and technology magnet programs in
the area.

"Micron connects teachers with its high-tech work environment to
facilitate on-going partnerships with engineers, scientists , chemists,
mathematicians and other professionals and we then provide the
opportunity and funding for these teachers to complete lessons for
their students using the activities in which they have participated,"
Baker said. In addition, since its formation in 1999, the Micron
Foundation has committed support to Idaho's education and local
communities with more than $8.5M in grants and more than $2M of
in-kind support in the same time period, along with a steady stream of
community volunteers ."
From 9 to 10:30 a. This particular program will extend our educational solution
across the full range of grades including elementary, middle, and high
school. In addition, these remarkable solutions enhance
and reinforce traditional academics and result in significant gains in test
scores . This site can be accessed from the Labs or from the
home. Additional information is at www.
