Guided tours of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Informal Education Product Showcase
April 2    NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Greenbelt, MD
 

In celebration of the International Year of Astronomy's 100 Hours of Astronomy, we will be holding an exclusive event on April 2nd for informal educators to learn more about NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and what it has to offer you and your programs. This event is offered at NO COST.

The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, offers a variety of activities and materials for informal education specialists, including interpreters, museum and science center explainers and docents, and leaders of after school programs, summer camps, scout groups, and other out-of-school educational settings.   Although this event has an astronomy focus, it will include many materials and activities from an array of NASA’s efforts in other disciplines (observations of our changing planet Earth, for example).

WHO?  Anyone involved in informal education programs - whether you're a leader or administrator, this event is for you!

WHAT?  Guided tours of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and an Informal Education Product Showcase to send you home with information, resources, and other goodies.

WHERE?  NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland
