1. STEM Exploration Week with NASA
A Discovery/New Frontiers Program Event
On October 20-21, 2010, nine educators representing the Discovery and New Frontiers missions visited classrooms in Lincoln County schools in Fayetteville, Tennessee to bring STEM activities, mission highlights, and NASA career information to 1,300 students and 60 educators in grades 9-12.
The team also offered a three-hour educator workshop for 30 pre-service and in-service teachers.
The event received front page coverage in the local Elk Valley Times newspaper and high praise from participating teachers and administrators.
Coordinated by D/NF E/PO manager Shari Asplund on behalf of the Program Office at Marshall Space Flight Center, the team of educators included Asplund, Jaclyn Allen, Kay Tobola, Wil Robertson, John Ristvey, Sandra Weeks, Dee McLellan, Leesa Hubbard, and Fabienne Bastien.
