The Education Offices provide school presentations, films, and publications, and arrange center visits in order to augment school curricula. The NASA Ames Research Center provides these services to the eleven western states including Hawaii. Educators use NASA resources to develop their own educational programs.
Teachers gather ideas, do research, and duplicate audiovisual materials.
ERC materials reflect NASA research and technology development in such curriculum areas as life science, physical science, astronomy, energy, earth resources, the environment, mathematics, and careers in aerospace. Teachers in disciplines other than science and mathematics are also encouraged to visit the ERC and explore ways in which aerospace materials may be incorporated into their lessons. Educational materials available at the Educator Resource Center include NASA Publications, Video Programs, 35mm Slides, Curricular Materials, Lesson Plans, Apple IIe and Mac Software, and Audio Cassettes. You are encouraged to email the ERC from within the ERC web page above. If you are not located in the western states, click here for a list of other NASA Field Center Education Offices.
