A series of three pre-service teacher workshops was held in 2011 at the Space Sciences Building on the Cornell University campus. This project was funded by an Aerospace Education Services Project (AESP) grant. The workshops were a partnership between the Cornell Center for Radiophysics & Space Research and the SUNY Cortland Adolescence Education: Science program at SUNY Cortland.

Questions about the project can be directed to Professor Angela Pagano at SUNY Cortland.
