I REPORTER!

COOL BEANS!

I was just called by the contact/PR person for Space Camp letting me know that The Lima News is going to run an article on me. I just spoke with the reporter and she wants me to send her some photos and give a first hand account when I return!


In the mean time..... here is the 2009 Space Academy Fact Sheet

Since its inception in 2004, more than 1,100 teachers from 36 countries and all 50 U.S. states have graduated from the Honeywell Educators at Space Academy program at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. The global group of teachers participates in an intensive educator curriculum focused on space science and exploration in addition to participating in real-life astronaut training.

During the program, the Honeywell Educator participates in a variety of activities including 45 hours of classroom, laboratory and field training. They also have the unique opportunity to participate in astronaut training exercises including a high-performance jet simulation, scenario-based space missions, land and water survival training, and state-of-the-art flight dynamics programs.

Financial contributions from more than 1,300 Honeywell employees help support the scholarships, which include tuition for the five-day program, roundtrip airfare, meals, accommodations and program materials.
