NAL Chapter Activities  Week of April 14, 2004

____________________________________________________________

  The next meeting of the Board Directors of the Houston Chapter of NAL will occur at 1200 Noon at Tietronix Software, 1331 Gemini Ave, Suite 300 on April 13, 2005.

 

The NASA Alumni League supports the Challenger Learning Center. We have selected 10 schools in the Houston area that are economically challenged and we are funding a space simulation for a class from each of those schools.  The description of the event looks like this:

Students become astronauts flying to the Moon and on to Mars. They learn high tech skills, the latest space science content, and experience careers for the 21st century. Each mission comes with a classroom curriculum to prepare students for their mission. The Museum operates Challenger Learning Centers at the Museum and at the Museum's George Observatory in Brazos Bend State Park.

Cost: $280 for a full 2-hour mission (40 students in grades 4-12) and $160 for a mini-Mission (20 students grades 4-12). Advanced missions and missions for younger students are also available. http://www.hmns.org/education/teachers/field_trip_planner.asp
