Boeing Educator Scholarship Fund
We are thrilled to announce
the establishment of the Boeing Educator Scholarship Fund, which will
enable us to provide programming to Kindergarten through eighth-grade
teachers who have not previously had an opportunity to participate in
a program at the Challenger Learning Center-St. Louis. Priority will be
given to teachers at underserved schools.
At the core of the student program
is the teacher training component. Prior to the student mission, teachers
receive a one-day workshop, where they will be given a curriculum, which
includes standards-based activities and resources for the teachers to
use with their students back in the classroom. In addition, as part of
the one-day training, teachers will have the opportunity to participate
in the same simulated space mission as their students.
The school program includes
a choice of either the Voyage to Mars™, Rendezvous
with a Comet™ or Return to the Moon™ (expected
to be available beginning Fall 2008) simulated space mission for fifth
through eighth-grade teachers and the Micronauts program geared
towards Kindergarten through fourth-grade teachers.
Applications
for the 2008-09 school year are due by 4:00 p.m. April
18, 2008.
