Educators' Programs

The Web is home to a wealth of programs designed for teachers and students. NASA is a great place to start: visit their Welcome to NASA's Education Program page for all sorts of answers.

Another outstanding resource for teachers are the members of the Aerospace Education Alliance (AEA), a group of organizations devoted to promoting aerospace education. Visit their Web sites to get on board:

• Astronaut Memorial Foundation
• Challenger Center for Space Science Education
• Space Center Houston (Manned Space Flight Education Foundation, Inc.)
• U.S. Space Camp (U.S. Space & Rocket Center)
• United States Space Foundation
• Young Astronauts Council

Also, a partnership between NASA and the National Science Teachers Association provides two excellent programs. These sites have information and applications:

• NASA Educational Workshops
• NASA Student Involvement Program
