NOAA's Teacher in the Air Program
Currently, NOAA's Teacher in the Air program is in its pilot phase. As such, we are not taking applications at this time.
The NOAA Teacher in the Air (TIA) Program is an offshoot of NOAA's Teacher at Sea Program and was first piloted in 2004. It has enabled teacher participants to observe research activities and interact with scientists while on board NOAA aircraft. Research has focused on wind-flow patterns, winter storms prediction, hurricane awareness, and monsoons. Future TIA opportunities may be available for K-12 and college teachers and will be posted at this site.
