at NASA Goddard
The CNRT at South Carolina State University (SCSU) and its collaborators are participating in the second annual astrochemistry curriculum development workshop sponsored by the Goddard Center for Astrophysics (GCA) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center July 5-7, 2005.
Participants from SCSU and those supported by the CNRT include:
- Dr. Donald Walter, Professor of Physics, SCSU
- Dr. Nassrollah Hamidi, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, SCSU
- Dr. Fred Okoh, Teacher at Meadowcreek High School, Norcross, Gwinnett County, GA
- Mr. Kevin Jones, Teacher at Branchville High School, Branchville, SC
- Mr. Jim Polard, Teacher at Seneca High School, Seneca, SC
The five participants will team-up with educators from Tennesse and North Carolina as well as scienctists and education experts at Goddard. They will work on developing lesson plans and other curriculum products in astrochemistry and astrobiology for K-12 schools.
SCSU is participating in this workshop as a member of the Minority Institute Astrobiology Collaborative (MIAC).
SCSU's participation in the GCA workshop is being funded through its MUCERPI-2003 award from NASA's Science Mission Directorate and a subgrant from NASA's Broker/Faciliatator SERCH.
