Volunteers Needed for Educational Program Goddard Education Progams has received a request for volunteers for: The Federation
of Galaxy Explorers: Volunteers are needed to assist in educating
and inspiring youth in space related science and engineering by
expanding the frontiers of science and technology. The mission of
the Galaxy explorers is to educate, guide and prepare the next generation
to accept the challenge of expanding humankind's presence in space.
You can learn more about the program at www.foge.org. Volunteers
will participate in after school activities with easy to understand
educational materials that provide a hands-on understanding of space
science, earth science, engineering and rocketry. Another theme,
Space Citizenship, will address the role of government, power of
citizens in a democracy, and the promise of space expressed in art,
writing, history and business. Organized into local "Mission
Teams" meeting on a monthly basis, materials, workbooks and
web site support for instruction with hands-on activities are provided.
Field trips and awards are part of the program encouraging self-esteem
through achievement and recognition. For more information, please
contact Morgan Bracken at mbracken@hst.nasa.gov
or 301-901-6051.
