NASA'S SIMULATION BASED AEROSPACE TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

NASA wants to share with you an exciting professional development internship opportunity for teachers. This unique program, developed by NASA, will offer 32 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) middle and high school teachers a rare opportunity to work beside NASA engineers and mentors during a two-week paid internship focusing on aeronautics modeling and simulation at a NASA facility during July 2011.

RTI International, the managing contractor for this project, currently seeks applications from outstanding middle and high school teachers who will adapt and use this exciting material in their classrooms. We need your help to reach out to those teachers who would benefit from this internship and have the capacity and support to integrate aerospace simulation-based engineering lessons into their curriculum.

Please inform STEM teachers about this opportunity by directing them to the program Website (see link below). Or you can contact Olivia Rice at 919.541.7011 or onix@rti.org to coordinate a formal announcement directly to teachers in your community.

You can find more information about the program as well as the application packages by visiting https://simaero.rti.org. We will accept applications through March 7, 2011.
