The Jason Project was organized by Dr. Robert Ballard to provide high-tech field trips and science experiences for students and teachers. Each year, Dr. Ballard and selected classes join in real-time expeditions and produce classroom materials. The brief overview on the AGI website contains updates on the project. These and other curriculum resources are maintained in the online library called NASA Spacelink . Fourteen Challenger Centers have been established by a foundation funded in memory of the crew of the Challenger space shuttle.
Classes can make a simulated space exploration from one of the centers.
Long-term classroom activities in space science are also made available through the Challenger Centers.
