Today was the first official day of Space academy for teachers.
Almost everyone was able to arrive in Huntsville yesterday and we were off to the races this morning. We met many people who play an important part in the development of this camp to start the morning off. Following that we heard from Ed Buckbee author of The Real Space Cowboys (I also got a signed copy of the book!)
We had a tour of the facility.

We also heard from the ambassadors and participated in a fun lesson - Stranded on Mars: Can you hear me now?

And listened to another great astronaut speak.

We finished the night off with Media night (Lots of pictures in my space suit!)

Wow! What a fantastic opportunity for you and your future students. We visited Huntsville a couple of years ago and loved it.
