12 Teachers Selected to Train to do Radio Astronomy Research in their classrooms! Training Completed!

As part of the Applied Level of the Columbus NASA Connections program, teachers will be invited to participate in training to use an actual radio telescope in the desert of California to engage their students in real science research. Participating in GAVRT will allow teachers to take their students to Jupiter, the Sun, Mars, Uranus, other galaxies, and Black Holes.

Congratulations to Scott Chandler (St. Elmo), Patricia Horner (East Columbus), Brenda Howell (Harris Co. Carver MS), Carole Mashburn (St. Elmo), Holly Mentillo (NASA NEAT teacher), Tracy Robar (NASA NEAT teacher), Patricia Spenard (Shaw HS), Christy Townsend (Arnold), Laura Hornsby (East Columbus), Diane Sartore (NEAT), James Murphy (Wynnton Elem.), and Tracy Wilson (Double Churches)
