NASA Solicitation: Teaching From Space
Posted at 04:30 on Friday 28 March 2008 by Kirk Kittell
I saw this last evening on the SpaceRef RSS feed -- 
-- regarding a program called Teaching From Space:
TFS will focus its efforts to meet three objectives:
- Develop and provide NASA-unique experiences, opportunities, content, and resources to educators and students to increase K-12 student interest in STEM disciplines.
- Develop and facilitate a NEAT-like (Network of Educator Astronaut Teachers) group of highly motivated educators.
- Build internal and external partnerships with formal and informal education communities to create unique learning opportunities and professional development experiences.

Anyway, I've forwarded it onto the AAS Education Committee. I think it might be a good opportunity for us. Now that I'll be based in Houston -- starting next week -- perhaps it might be easier to link to Johnson Space Center Programs.
Also, I've got to check into things that the Lunar and Planetary Institute is doing. I hear about activities via their LPI_Library Twitter feed that also sound interesting.
But, first I've got to get to Houston. If you're interested, I'll post a few photos from the road from my personal blog, The Beauty of Lies.
