FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 12, 1999
CASSINI SATURN MISSION EDUCATOR FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE
Educators are invited to apply for 15 new fellowships
offered by NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn, which is managed by
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA.
Applications for the fellowships are being solicited from
professional science educators including classroom teachers,
curriculum specialists and museum or science center staff, who
would be eligible for selection and training in April 1999.
Those selected will receive educator training about the mission
and its scientific objectives. Cassini Educator fellows will
participate in workshops at JPL, train other educators within the
geographic area, and field-test classroom materials relating to
the mission and planetary science in general. Applicants must be
U.S. citizens, and applications are due Feb. 19, 1999.
The fellowships are part of Cassini's education and public
outreach program, which, with the Challenger Center space
education organization, is implementing a nationwide teacher
training initiative and developing educational modules targeted
at grades 5 through 8. The Cassini Educator Fellows will reflect
a geographically and institutionally diverse mix of presenters
from a variety of learning environments such as science centers
and museums, school districts, universities and educational
organizations.
The training will provide participants with a unique
opportunity to interact with Cassini program scientists and
engineers. Fellows must commit to conducting a minimum of two
educator training workshops per year and to sharing evaluation
information from those workshops with the Cassini Program and
Challenger Center.
