Date: Saturday, Feb. 28, 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
Target Audience: Educators for grades 2-8 (educators for all grades are welcome)
Location: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, von Karman Auditorium
Overview: Have you ever wondered how NASA "talks" to spacecraft? In this workshop, educators will learn about the Deep Space Network -- the system of giant antennas stationed around the world that allows us to communicate with distance spacecraft -- and understand why there is no sound in space. Come enjoy "center-based" lessons that illustrate how sound moves through solids, liquids and gases.
