The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its Jet Propulsion Laboratory are committed to education formal and informal. Educators can get single copies of a variety of teaching materials produced by NASA/JPL from the JPL Educator Resource Center in Pomona, California. Materials can be obtained via written request or by visiting in person.
An educator information package of printed materials is free and includes (subject to supplies on hand) lithograph pictures, posters, brochures, videos, and booklets about NASA/JPL missions.
Hours of Operation
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is adopting a new work schedule that
will result in JPL reducing services on alternate Fridays and on
occasional weekdays prior to some holidays. The Educator Resource
Center will be adopting this schedule which will affect every other
Friday, weekday hours and the once a month Saturday morning openings.
The ERC will still be offering all of our services but, as always,
we advise a call in advance of a visit to avoid disappointment from
special schedules or unanticipated closings.
