Educational Technology
NASA Ames offers an array of Internet-based and multimedia software for use in the classroom.
Ames Educational Multimedia Team produces educational technology products and educator guides based on NASA research, programs and missions, national education standards and current research-based instructional pedagogy. The team has produced award-winning Web sites, such as NASA Quest, Astro-Venture, Virtual Skies and Robin Whirlybird. The team has also produced popular CD-ROMs, such as Exploring Aeronautics and Gate to Gate, which can be obtained from NASA CORE.

Center for Mars Exploration (CMEX) is your resource for Mars mission information on the Web and on CD-ROM. CMEX offers videos, images and a wealth of information on the planet Mars, and missions to Mars.

Learning Technologies Project (LTP) NASA's Learning Technologies Project (LTP) provides online, interactive, multimedia educational products derived from NASA Enterprise content. LTP projects increase public access to the storehouse of science that NASA has acquired as well as the data it is currently acquiring. LTP provides this content in accordance with the NASA Plan for Education by creating curriculum enhancements for K-12 and K-14 educators and delivering these materials via the Internet and other emerging technologies. LTP products are offered at about 5,000 (or ~5 percent) of the schools nationwide. Contact: Mark Leon or Tom Dyson .

NASA Quest connects schools with NASA’s people via the Internet through Web chats, webcasts, e-mail, informative biographies and journals, curriculum resources and more. NASA Quest offers the opportunity to communicate with NASA scientists and researchers and to experience the excitement of real NASA research as it is happening. To participate in this science in action, visit the NASA Quest Web site.

Observatorium NASA's Observatorium is a public access site for Earth and space data. Visit this site to access pictures of the Earth, planets, stars, online activities, and lesson plans and the stories that go with each.

Robotics Education Program (REP) is your NASA source for K-12 robotics education. REP organizes robotic competitions and will be offering online robotics courses
and labs for credit in the future. Contact Joe Hering (650) 604-2008.
