Greetings!  I wanted to invite those science center employees within the
mid-Atlantic region (PA, WV, VA, MD, and DE) who create children's
programs involving hands-on activities to apply to join us at a free
upcoming workshop in Morgantown, WV, Sept. 20-21.  Preference is given
to those institutions serving rural audiences.  

 

This NASA training, Explore: Jupiter's Family Secrets, will acquaint
participants with Jupiter and NASA's upcoming Juno mission to discover
clues about our solar system's history!  Scientists and educators from
NASA and the Lunar and Planetary Institute will share space science
information, resources, hands-on activities, and demonstrations
developed specifically for participants to infuse into their programs
with children and youth ages 8 to 13 and their families. Public library
staff, museum, science center, and park naturalists that provide, or
plan to provide, out-of-school programs for 8-13-year-olds in
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia are
invited to attend.

 

The workshop is free. A $350 stipend is available for 25 participants. A
stipend request form will be emailed to participants upon acceptance
into the workshop. 

 

Space is limited, and registration is being conducted on a first-come
first-accepted basis!  (Preference will be given to those serving rural
audiences.)

 

Please apply at

hesitate to contact me with questions or for more information.
