Kennedy Educator Resource Center

    Students at Gainesville Elementary School, a NASA Explorer School in Gainesville, Ga. Through the Educator Resource Center, educators can access a wide variety of NASA resources to develop their own educational programs. The facilities and staff at the center will assist teachers in gathering ideas, performing research and duplicating selections from an outstanding collection of audiovisual and printed materials.

    The center's materials reflect NASA research and technology development in curriculum areas, such as life science, physical science, astronomy, energy, Earth resources, the environment, mathematics, geography and careers in aerospace. Teachers in disciplines other than science and mathematics also are encouraged to visit the center and explore ways to incorporate aerospace materials into their lessons.

    The Educator Resource Center is located in the Center for Space Education building in the northwest corner of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. It serves educators in Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Educators outside this region can locate the NASA centers serving other geographic areas by checking the Educator Resource Center Network.
