at the nine NASA Field Centers and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory; one week of intensive
training provides opportunities to begin integration of NASA content into existing
school curricula and culminates in the development and implementation of action
plans to meet local education challenges.

with organizational partners and other federal agencies; this activity, coordinated
by a network of teacher leaders and trainers, includes NASA aerospace education
specialists, Space Grant consortia, educator resource centers and NASA Education
networks.

problem solving and design challenges relating to NASA's missions and involve students
in science, technology, engineering and mathematics explorations to encourage the
use of scientific tools and methods; challenges will be grade-specific, supporting
national and state standards. In addition, in-flight opportunities and competitions
will provide access to unique NASA resources and personnel.
The NASA Explorer Schools Web site includes NASA resources; science, technology
and mathematics investigations; collaborative tools; and opportunities to share
student and school program results.
A grant to each school will support the purchase of technology tools, online services
and inservice support for the integration of technology applications to engage students
in science and mathematics investigations.
Family involvement in student educational growth, achievement and career exploration
is the responsibility of the NES teams locally for school and home experiences developed
in cooperation with NASA assets; online opportunities will be available through
