NASA/NSTA Web Seminars:

National Aeronautics and Space Administration
NASA Explorer Schools


These web seminars are part of a series of electronic professional development experiences sponsored by the NASA Explorer Schools (NES) project. NASA Explorer Schools invests in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics educators to inspire and engage a whole generation of future scientists, engineers and technicians that NASA needs to continue our journey. NES gives educators of grades 4-12 free access to NASA’s people, missions, research, and facilities. We take the work out of searching through thousands of materials on the NASA website and provide a comprehensive set of teaching materials for dozens of STEM concepts. For additional information about the NASA Explorer Schools project, visit http://explorerschools.nasa.gov.


Each program will be delivered multiple times during the academic year. Click on the links below for a complete description of the program and a list of the live web seminar dates.
