IPRB will once again offer free “Petro Pros” in-school presentations during the 2024-25 school year. The program provides educators a direct link to Illinois Basin oil industry professionals. Our Petro Pros provide students and educators insights on the oil and natural gas industry, with emphasis on the science and math skills utilized to find and produce oil and natural gas. We also offer free classroom materials, including a printed oil-and-gas focused excerpt from and Illinois State Geological Survey Illinois geology textbook and surplus lab and general educational materials.
IPRB’s “Petro Pros” presentations are modified to suit the following age groups:
- 3rd– 6th Grades
- Junior High
- High School
IPRB Executive Director Seth Whitehead also participates in the “Petro Pros” presentations to answer any questions about the oil and natural gas industry.
