Educational Interests

Nasa offers many exciting educational opportunities for schools, and the public. From web chats for your child to providing mentors and speakers for your school, ideas for science fairs, and numerous contests, NASA provides one of the largest educational resource centers anywhere. In addition, there are many many educators resources as well.

We are currently trying to pull together a list of the most interesting educational opportunities as well as numerous web sites for you to visit. Again, there are vast amounts to choose from.

Parents, remember: It just takes an idea to start a project. With the push
for parental involvement in the schools, you and a teacher (with your principals approval and the students involvement as well), could start working on a NASA educational program. Remember, teachers are not aware of everything that is available to them, and many appreciate your input.

Enjoy!
