Northrop Grumman Foundation Weightless Flights of Discovery Kicks Off Year Four
"The Northrop Grumman Foundation is kicking off the fourth year of its Weightless Flights of Discovery Program, flying a total of 120 science and math teachers on four microgravity flights over the next two weeks. As part of the company's goal to inspire the next generation of scientists, mathematicians and engineers - critical areas of learning and career development where the U.S. has fallen behind globally - the Weightless Flights of Discovery program provides educators with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prepare for and participate in micro- and zero-gravity flights during which they will test Newton's Laws of Motion with a variety of planned experiments. In addition to Albuquerque, flights are also scheduled in Detroit (Sept. 24), Norwalk, Conn. (Sept. 29), and Washington, D.C. (Oct. 2)."
This is a really great program.
Darn, I had to fly my own aircraft to do this back when.
I hope they(the teachers) can relate to the students as peers. It is likey the students(not flying) are more interested then the teachers in the area of study, critical areas of learning.
way to go The Northrop Grumman Foundation.
I hope you are not a 501(c)
