[Mark Fischer]

The National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) & Space Grant Educator 
Training Workshop is an opportunity for middle and high school 
teachers and administrators to delve into the world of aerospace. The 
training workshop will be an intense two weeks focused on current and 
past NASA research in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The first week of the Institute will be held at the NASA Langley 
Research Center in Hampton, VA. During this week, the participants 
will learn about current NASA research, visit the center's research 
labs and facilities, and participate in many STEM-related learning 
activities. Participants will also learn about NASA's rich 
educational resources and how they can impact the classroom.

During the second week, participants will attend workshops at North 
Carolina Universities. Topics will include Pisgah Astronomical 
Research Institute, astronomy, state competitions, robotics, 
rocketry, etc. This week will give educators a chance to design a 
plan to best implement this training to have the greatest impact in 
the classroom.

All housing will be provided. In addition a stipend of $1500 will be 
paid to educators who participate in the entire two-week training 
workshop, except for educators already on 12-month appointments.
