EDUCATORS SELECTED FOR NASA EXPLORER SCHOOLS SUMMER WORKSHOPS
WASHINGTON -- NASA has selected 50 elementary, middle and high school
educators from across the nation to work side by side with agency
scientists and engineers to learn research techniques and identify
connections to science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) education.
The educators were chosen for these workshops because they
demonstrated exemplary classroom practices and innovative use of NASA
Explorer Schools (NES) resources to engage students in STEM
activities. They will participate in one of four workshops that will
take place between June 18 and July 26 at various NASA centers. This
year's workshops are Extreme Green at the Glenn Research Center in
Cleveland; Airborne Research Experience at Dryden Flight Research
Center in Edwards, Calif.; There is More to Light than Meets the Eye
at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.; and Atmospheric
Science at Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va.
The NES project invests in STEM educator development to help teachers
inspire and engage the future scientists, engineers and technicians
that NASA needs to continue its missions. The program offers a
variety of educational assets, including classroom videos,
educational concept lessons, professional development activities and
live video chats.
