Developed in coordination with NACE members, NACE staff and educators, this Story Book introduces the concept of corrosion to children ages 9-15. Inspector Protector and his gang of "colossal corrosion fighters" battle corrosion while entertaining children through this exciting, action-packed adventure. It is designed to capture student's imaginations while meeting science curriculum requirements.

Through this and other programs, the NACE Foundation hopes to:

• Raise student's interest level in science (specifically corrosion science) by connecting classroom instruction to real world experiences.
• Cultivate a future work force targeted at the field of science and corrosion engineering.
• Educate the public about the health, safety and environmental dangers of corrosion and it's prevention and/or control.
• Stimulate conversation between children and parents regarding the effects of corrosion.

Strategic Planning:

We will move forward with this program through an aggressive strategic planning process which will focus on the following:

• Distribute to targeted schools
• Distribute to targeted international locations
• Target and design promotional / merchandising items
• Create new storyline
• Translate into Spanish

This Story Book can be used by a guest classroom speaker, by science teachers or it can be used as a corporate promotional/educational piece. It conceptualizes corrosion in such a way that the general public can understand and appreciate the ongoing challenges that corrosion presents to individuals and industry.
