Minn. Educators, administrators, students and industry professionals are invited to attend America's premier Aerospace Education conference. Now in its second printing, Col. Halvorsen's book, The Berlin Candy Bomber, recounts this story. In addition to a NASA astronaut, naturalist Bill Lishman will share his experiences of using an ultralight aircraft to help endangered species learn new migration routes. NASA representatives also will demonstrate distance-learning complete with details of how teachers can get NASA educational experts to present interactive space lessons in their classrooms. The National Congress on Aviation and Space Education is certified for 30 contact hours or 3 continuing education units.
College credit is available for an additional cost.
The Congress is open to anyone interested in aerospace education. Civil Air Patrol, the official Air Force Auxiliary, is a nonprofit organization. Volunteers also take a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to America's youths through CAP cadet programs.
