NASA, Navy help teachers

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. - The Education Office at NASA' Stennis Space Center teamed with the Naval Research Laboratory Dec. 10-11 to offer a group of science educators a no-cost training opportunity to build and operate underwater robots. Teachers from Louisiana and Mississippi spent two days at Stennis learning how to build and use Sea Perch, a remotely operated underwater robot. The teachers now can take the Sea Perch Program back to their students, offering a hands-on activity designed to inspire continued studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
