In 1998, ACerS initiated the first Ceramics Pavilion to showcase ceramics companies in one location on the show floor, creating greater awareness for industrial uses of ceramics. The Society also organizes ceramic-based programming at the meeting. Developing the Ceramics Pavilion concept for other industry expositions is being explored. The American Ceramic Society's Precollege Education Program encourages student interest in math and science and promotes ceramic awareness. ACerS also supports National Engineers Week , the premier precollege education outreach program in science and technology held every February.
Materials are available to members and others interested in precollege education activities.
By providing research assistance and information, the Society assists the media in developing stories to further educate the public. ACerS assisted staff from WXXI in Rochester, N.Y., with programming research.
