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.
