While visiting around NASA, remember to stop at Space Kids site and send your name to Mars on a special CD-ROM that is going to be included in the payload of the Mars lunar lander. NASA's goal is to collect one million names of schoolchildren from around the world to send on the December 1999 mission. There is strong motivation for teachers to leave their desktops to gather more of NASA's excellent resources. Educators can visit their local ERCs, which are also open to college education majors. The Georgian Court ERC will host lunar-rock certification workshops on campus June 29 through July 2.
Educators are welcome to attend at no charge.
