Encounters in Excellence will unveil their new documentary film, "August in Africa," in a special presentation for Miami-Dade County School Board members and officials on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. at MAST Academy, 3979 Rickenbacker Causeway.

Affiliated with the Miami Museum of Science and funded by Miami-Dade County Public Schools and various groups, Encounters in Excellence presents a series of film lectures on natural history topics produced by founders Rich and Judy Kern for live auditorium presentations. As part of the program, teachers are provided with a special curriculum supplement to prepare and do follow-up in their science and geography classes, and students are given an opportunity to ask questions. Every year the series is presented to 100 Miami public schools, reaching approximately 55,000 students. This interaction provides an exciting educational experience which stimulates classroom learning.
