Aerospace Education Services Project
 
[Educators Grades K-Higher Education]
[Available: Nationally]

The Aerospace Education Services Project is a comprehensive project designed to reach out to the formal and informal education communities in all fifty states and the U.S. territories. The AESP staff consists of specialists who are professional educators assigned to each NASA center. The AESP specialists share NASA's use of emerging instructional technologies and the motivating outcomes of NASA's research, exploration and discovery with education communities and the public. The AESP primary focus is a professional development effort that serves the elementary and secondary education community by providing classroom demonstrations, distance learning events, in-service training for educators, pre-service training for university students, and identification of appropriate NASA education resources. The project also motivates students to continue their study of science and mathematics throughout their school career and encourages them to pursue the NASA workforce pipeline.

AESP:
--Motivates students through student projects, classroom visits and lecture-demonstration presentations.
--Supports K-12 educators through classroom demonstrations, distance learning events and faculty workshops.
--Supports family mathematics and science events, and other formal and informal education community events.

The AESP Web site provides detailed information and instructions regarding how educators can participate in this NASA Education project.

AESP is a NASA Education project that is managed by the Penn State University's Center for Science and the Schools.
