COAL COUNTRY
Educational Software

[ INDEX | PREVIEW | DOWNLOAD | DOCUMENTATION ]

COAL COUNTRY is an innovative software program based on the original Coal Kids program which was developed by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) in cooperation with the Bethel Park, PA Public Schools. COAL COUNTRY was developed with the support of the Center for Economic and Energy Development and the Society of Mining Engineers. As an interactive, educational computer program, its purpose is to provide mineral education, specifically on coal, to elementary school children, although pilot presentations have shown that COAL COUNTRY appeals to all ages. Teachers can use this program to supplement and broaden existing curriculum or as an enrichment program.
