“Inspire the next generation of explorers” -NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe

NASA’s Mission:

	To understand and protect our home planet.
	To explore the Universe and search for life.
	To inspire the next generation of explorers ...as only NASA can.

   Our renewed focus to education means not only inspiring our youth but also providing educators with the tools they need to teach math and science and to improve the country's scientific literacy. These tools are available today. We just need to be more creative in how to make them available to inspire our youngest generation to pursue these inquiries.

    In short, we want to make scientific discovery, research, and exploration, cool and exciting so that kids want to learn more drawn by natural human inquisitiveness. If we don't motivate our younger generation, in kindergarten and on through high school, there is little prospect this generation will choose to pursue scientific disciplines later.
