Teachers can use NASA resources to create their own educational programs, do research, and duplicate materials. Subjects include geography, meteorology, astronomy, social studies, mathematics, and environmental science. Since opening in August of 1992, the RERC has served thousands of educators in Idaho. All material is available for teachers to review during normal IMTC hours. Most materials are organized by grade level and topic.
Equipment is available for the teacher to use to preview all available audio-visual programs.
Photocopying of printed media can be done at any time. Arrangements can be made for duplication of videotapes and computer programs. The majority of the material has been reviewed by a variety of educators. Certain titles can be recommended based on appropriateness for lesson goals. Most video tapes have been color coded in the RERC by intended grade level.
