十二月：AIT@40的「環境生態月」：AIT@40最終篇章倒數計時！為慶祝AIT 40歲生日，我們為2019年每個月訂定一個主題，凸顯美台在各個領域的成就。十二月是AIT@40「環境生態月」，美國和台灣攜手為「全球環境教育合作夥伴關係」計畫（GEEP）位於台中的亞太區域中心揭開序幕；GEEP計畫是美台發起的全球平台，旨為提升並促進全球的環境教育。AIT也特別邀請到NASA美國航空暨太空總署兩位資深講師，於國立中央大學為GLOBE計畫教師舉辦環境教育工作坊；GLOBE計畫是由NASA所支持的國際科學教育計畫，目的為透過環境保護、數據收集和科學相關的活動讓學生、教師和科學家有更密切的交流。另外，AIT也舉辦了美國紀錄片「怒海控塑」放映會，探討海洋廢棄物對地球所造成的嚴重傷害。
December: AIT@40 Environment Month: We’re counting down our AIT@40 highlights month by month as we approach our AIT@40 finale! To celebrate AIT’s 40th birthday, we selected a special theme for each month in 2019 to highlight our joint accomplishments in that area. DECEMBER was AIT@40 Environment Month. The U.S. and Taiwan partnered in opening the Global Environmental Education Partnership (GEEP) Asia-Pacific Regional Center in Taichung, a global platform to improve and promote environmental education around the world. NASA Outreach Specialists conducted an education workshop for educators at the National Central University involved in GLOBE, an international science and education program supported by NASA that connects students, teachers, and scientists for environmental protection, data collection, and science-related activities. Finally, AIT hosted public screenings of the U.S. documentary “A Plastic Ocean,” which shines light on the shocking impact that marine debris is having on our planet.
