My apologies for abusing this email list for promoting something other than robotics. This is a great opportunity for a special middle school math or science teacher that you might know. Please forward this email or pass its attachment to that special teacher that you might know (perhaps your robotics coach/mentor). The Northrop Grumman Foundation is accepting teacher applications for the 2008 Weightless Flights of Discovery program, an initiative that places teachers on micro- and zero-gravity flights to test Newton's Laws of Motion and energize students in the formative middle-school years. <<NGC Weightless Flights of Discovery.pdf>> Eligibility If you are a math or science teacher at an accredited public middle school or a college student majoring in education at a university near locations where flights will take place (see list below) you may submit an application to participate in the Northrop Grumman Foundation Weightless Flights of Discovery program. Special consideration will be given to educators in underserved communities and at schools with underperforming math and science scores. 2008 Locations include: San Jose, California Flight - September 18 Space Coast, Florida Flight - September 30 Atlanta, Georgia Flight - October 7 Chicago, Illinois Flight - October 21 For more information and to learn how to apply for the program go to www.northropgrumman.com/teachers.
