materials to expand and enhance scientific and technological 
competence of their students.



Through this network, NASA provides expertise and facilities to help 
educators access and utilize science, mathematics, and technology 
instructional products aligned with national standards and 
appropriate state frameworks and based on the agency&rsquo;s unique 
mission and results.



Educator Resource Centers who make up the network, are located on or 
near NASA Field Centers as well as at planetariums, museums, 
colleges, universities, and other nonprofit organizations around the 
United States. A listing of NASA&rsquo;s Educator Resouce Centers may 
be found on NASA&rsquo;s Education website at
