NASA program creates teacher corps

Looking to bolster student interest in scientific fields from electrical engineering to complex aeronautics, NASA has created a new, hands-on professional development program for technology-savvy educators. The selective four-day workshop composed of an elite corps of K-12 teachers encourages educators to share their newly acquired knowledge with colleagues and students back in their own communities. Several of interactive, multimedia programs, developed for the Airspace Systems Educational Cohort by NASA, can be found online at http://quest.nasa.gov.
