EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

NASA TEACHER RESOURCE CENTER NETWORK

The Education Division established a network of Regional Teacher Resource Centers at the nine NASA research facilities and universities and museums around the country to disseminate educational materials to elementary and secondary educators. Materials include videotapes, slides, audio tapes, publications, lesson plans and activities. Copies can be made at the centers. Teachers should contact the Center nearest them. It should be noted that all centers do not have information about all of NASA's activities nor do they stock the same materials.
