Are you a middle school or high school level teacher interested in a week of
field studies with NASA Ames Researchers?
The NASA Idaho Space Grant
Consortium (ISGC) has teamed up with NASA Ames Research Center, once again, to
bring a weeklong field study called Spaceward Bound to Idaho. Spaceward Bound
is a program that involves classroom teachers in authentic planetary fieldwork
side-by-side with NASA scientists. Teachers bring the experiences they learn
from the field back to their classrooms and assist in the development of
curriculum related to human exploration of remote and extreme environments.
Some of the past field expeditions have included the Mojave Desert, Australia,
Namibia, Pavilion Lake, Antarctica and North Dakota.
REGISTRATION IS
OPEN for the 2013 Spaceward Bound - Idaho!
Dates: June 23rd - June
28th, 2013
We are going back to Southern Idaho and spending a significant
amount of time at Craters of the Moon and Worswick Hot Springs. Also, Shoshone
Ice Caves will be visited to collect data but very little time will be spent
there.
The deadline to sign up is March 22, 2013. We will be selecting
15-20 teachers for this years expedition.
The ISGC has received funding
to provide this experience to teachers for free. Your only financial obligation
is to get yourself to our starting point on Sunday, June 23, 2013. At this
point we are tentatively looking to start in Twin Falls, due to the location of
the research sites. Two professional development credits will be given to each
teacher who participate.
More information will become available
soon.
