NASA SELECTS PENN STATE TO LEAD NATIONAL EDUCATION INITIATIVE

HAMPTON, Va. - NASA has selected the Pennsylvania State University's 
Center for Science and Schools in University Park to lead the 
agency's Aerospace Education Service Project, a comprehensive 
educational program designed to reach out to all 50 states and U.S. 
territories.

The cooperative agreement has a maximum value of $27.5 million over 
five years.

The project is the longest-running kindergarten through 12th grade 
effort in NASA's education history. Under the agreement, Penn State 
will use NASA's many educational assets to aid America's formal and 
informal education communities in promoting science, technology, 
engineering and math. 

A professional development program, the project provides educators and 
students with tools, experiences and opportunities to further their 
education through educator workshops, classroom demonstrations, 
parent programs and classroom resources. The goal is to attract and 
retain students in science, math and related disciplines vital to the 
nation's space program.
