Sharing NASA, part of the Quest project, focuses on the enthusiastic people of NASA who live and breathe the space program every day. Over the Internet, these people come alive for K-12 classrooms. Students feel like they've not only read about exciting events, but that they've met the people involved.

Also, classrooms work together over the Internet and teachers plug into a support network of peers. Lots of online curriculum supplements help teachers integrate science and technology issues into their lessons. These projects also offer many opportunities to enhance reading, writing, and creative expression activities.

Projects change over time, but something great is always happening. Currently, our best projects include:

• Space Team Online: Join the men and women who make the space shuttle fly and those making the International Space Station a reality
• Aero Design Team Online: Learn why and how airplanes fly, and meet the scientists and engineers that design and improve them
• Women of NASA: Amazing females at NASA as role models for young students

System Requirements

These projects are designed to work across a broad range of connectivity. For teachers whose classes have no Internet access, text e-mail sent to a home computer is available. A Web connection in the classroom provides more service. Advanced network users can plug into network video (CU-SeeMe) and special WebChat options (Java enhanced).
