Teachers Taught At SPACE CAMP

SPACE — The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] this week sent more than 90 teachers from around the world from 12 countries to the week long 17th Annual Boeing Educators to SPACE CAMP® program at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The Boeing Educators to SPACE CAMP program uses space exploration initiatives to enhance teachers’ skills in presenting math, science, and technology lessons that will inspire students and help ensure a skilled workforce for a globally competitive technology market. The teachers will complete hands-on workshops that include simulated space missions, astronaut training, and presentations by rocketry and space exploration experts. The workshops help bring the excitement of real-world engineering challenges to student levels for a better understanding of scientific and mathematic principles. The teachers also will receive resources to implement in the classroom to help their students meet national standards for science, math and technology. After graduating from SPACE CAMP on July 12th, each teacher will return home with CD-ROMs filled with lesson plans and additional program materials to use in the classroom. The graduates also will receive information for online educator resources to facilitate continued networking with their fellow camp attendees. Additionally, Boeing is requiring participants to work with their school administrators to develop a plan describing how they intend to implement what they learned at the camp in their school or district.
