Minerals Education Coalition 
The Minerals Education Coalition’s (MEC) mission is to identify, produce and disseminate fact-based K-12 minerals education lessons and activities and to inform and educate the general public about the importance of mining in their everyday lives.
Several distinct, yet equally important groups are the targeted audiences for the activities of the MEC, specifically:
- K-12 students who are the consumers of the future and potential employees of the mining industry;
- Teachers of K-12 students who will provide the knowledge and skills needed to provide factual and meaningful instruction and experiences for youth;
- SME members in Sections who locally provide accurate and relevant educational activities for K-12 students and the general public; and,
- The general public who are the beneficiaries of mining and minerals in their daily lives.
The MEC is the result of the successful merger of SME’s Mineral Information Institute (Mii) and Government, Education and Mining (GEM) programs.
