Although
it would be easy to spend all our time focused on the mission, Spacesim
members also invite elementary classes to come visit during our
Elementary Education Programs (EEP).
This program,
originally designed by Miriam Padolsky and Hilary Myron (collectively
known as Milary), is run at various times during the year. Students
attending the program get to learn various things about science,
technology and space. Furthermore, they get a chance to see our
setup and use some of the equipment our various sponsors have given
us or enabled us to buy.
Spacesim
members running the program also get a chance to share their interests,
knowledge and love of the subjects with younger students... who
knows, maybe that kid who keeps asking questions will grow up to
be a physicist or an astronaut!
The Education
Commander for the 2007-08 school year is Jeffrey
Gao.
