Sorry it took me a while to remember the ”NASA TV-Like” education project managed by NASA Langley

NASA eClips™ are short, relevant educational video segments. These videos inspire and engage students, helping them see real world connections.

Subject: ARISSat-1 education-based satellite

Ms. Sladek,
My name is David Jordan and I am a volunteer in the Amateur Radio on the ISS or ARISS group.
This group is affiliated with NASA along with other space-related and amateur radio groups (see http://www.ariss.org).
ARISS along with the help of AMSAT (The Radio Amateur Satellite Corp.) have designed, assembled and are about to deploy an education-based amateur radio satellite into low earth orbit during EVA-29 from the ISS scheduled for August 2. The spacecraft’s mission is to provide opportunities for STEM initiative projects in the classroom and for informal education groups, such as science camps, museums, etc. For more detail on this satellite, go to http://www.arissat1.org.

This was a great conversation. Thanks for the links and other information!

Other resources provided examples of NASA partners

NASA is committed to building strategic partnerships and links between formal and informal education providers. Through hands-on, interactive educational activities, NASA is engaging students, educators, families, the public and other agency stakeholders to increase Americans\’ science and technology literacy.

Thanks so much!

Through a partnership with Honeywell this edu-tainment partnership brings NASA

Because of this Honeywell and the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recently announced the spring 2011 tour of their award-winning science education program FMA Live!

FMA Live! will be visiting numerous cities across the United States in order to capture the interest of children in grades 5-8

Thank you all for the great info!

Anita, Answer any questions you find interesting or have time for. Hopefully, I’m not too off topic with these questions.

1)What have we done to make schools, teachers and parents aware of our offerings?
2)Have we developed any lesson plans to go along with this information? (Teachers are required to teach to standards and usually are required provide lesson plans to their superiors.)
3) I’ve seen the NASA Channel on TV. It’s great but, honestly, not very kid-friendly. Has there been any thought of running shows from NASA’s Digital Learning Network (DLN) or something like that on TV?
4) Do we ever take a show “on the road” to the schools? You could reach the entire school in a day, rather than just one class on a “field trip.”

Regarding planetariums that Anita is talking about several NASA Centers have portable planetariums that can be requested to visit a school or other venue.There is also a new self-guided virtual tour of NASA Goddard at: http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/goddardVT/.
