The following messages (pasted below) provide information about
opportunities through various space grant consortiums. Most are for
university students, but one is for K-12 teachers. I have deleted the
attachments (JPL, Langley, Liftoff, HASP) but can send them to interested
individuals.

Subject: summer programs for students- please publicize!

There are many excellent summer programs at various NASA Centers for Summer,
2006!  Please publicize them to your students and colleagues.  We will have
money from our augmentation funds to send up to 8 students to programs this
year, so please help me get the word out. (Assuming, of course, that the
augmentation funds actually get here by the summerŠ.)  Generally, we cover
travel costs to and from the program, as well as a $4000-$5000 stipend.  The
NASA Centers provide room and board.

 
Summer at JPL.  Please see attached flyer and attached list of positions.
Langley Aerospace Research Summer Scholars.  Please see attached flyer.
Find out more at http://edu.larc.nasa.gov/larss/
Mars Project Interns at JPL.  Find out more at
http://www.sop.usra.edu/mars_intern/
Lewis Educational Research Collaborative Internship Program.  Find out more
at http://www.oai.org/pages/LERCIP.html
NASA Academy.  I haven¹t yet heard anything from this program for 2006, but
you can check them out online at http://www.nasa-academy.nasa.gov/
 

 

Please note that all of these programs have different application time
frames and procedures.  Some applications come to me, while others go
directly to the NASA Centers.  Let me know if you have any questions or need
further information about these programs- I will do my best to answer, or at
least give you another person to contact.

 

Thanks, 

Ellie

Below is information for the LiftOff summer program for K-12 teachers.
There is another secondary school teacher program at NASA Glenn.
Information for that program can be found at
http://www.oai.org/pages/LERCIP.html.

The Tennessee Space Grant Consortium will have the funds to send up to 4
K-12 teachers to training programs during the summer of 2006.  Please pass
this email on to anyone who may be interested.

Thanks, 

Ellie 

 

 Beginning in the summer of 1990, the Texas Space Grant Consortium initiated
week-long professional development training for teachers. This aerospace
workshop series, called LiftOff, emphasizes science, mathematics, and
technology learning experiences by incorporating a space science theme
supported by NASA missions. Teacher participants are provided with
information, materials, and experiences through hands-on activities and
field trips that will promote space science and enrichment activities for
themselves and others.

Before the end of the next decade, NASA astronauts will again explore the
surface of the moon.  And this time, we¹re going to stay, building outposts
and paving the way for eventual journeys to Mars and beyond.  There are
echoes of the images from the past, but it won¹t be your grandfather¹s moon
shot. 

How do the Earth and Moon compare?  How did the Moon form?  What causes the
phases of the Moon?  The moon has loomed large in the human imaginationŠ.for
many moons.  Join us as we begin a close examination of Earth¹s natural
satellite during LiftOff 2006:  Return to the Moon!

I am attaching a pdf of the application but the LiftOff 2006 applications
are available online:

http://www.tsgc.utexas.edu/liftoff/

We will fax any applications received from your state for your review.  If
you would like to reserve a spot for a teacher from your state, please email
me. 

Thank you for helping us spread the word!
