This project provided one eight-hour professional development workshops for twenty-three middle school teachers and two pre-service teachers; curriculum for classroom instruction; and student engagement challenges for the students of the teachers attending the workshops to demonstrate their new knowledge and excitement for space exploration by conducting a simulated NASA space mission or other hands-on minds-on STEM activities. Teachers utilized skills, lessons and curriculum from the workshops to train and prepare up to thirty (30) of their students to attend hands-on, critical thinking activities at the
Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee. At the end, it was determined that the teachers would get good
use of curriculum boxes in the CLC Teacher Resource Room so this was added as part of the CLC match.
