  3. Educator Resource Center Free Material Distribution • The WFF NASA Educator Resource Center (ERC) distributes NASA materials and resources as requested via phone and emails across the state at no cost. • Materials request sheets can also be requested or filled out and sent back to the Wallops ERC coordinator. • Office visits and consultations are also arranged.

  4. ERC Workshops & Trainings • Teacher professional development workshops and trainings are held throughout the year at the Visitor Center. • Science on the Sphere Docent and Teacher Training • WebShops on various topics coordinated with GSFC • ERC presentations and how to access NASA education materials • Student workshop/training opportunities are also provided by NASA and can be shared through the ERCN.

  5. Student STEM Opportunities • Sounding Rockets – RockOn!, RockSatC and RockSat X (payloads built and launched at Wallops) http://spacegrant.colorado.edu/rockon/ • Scientific Balloons – HASP (payloads built and launched from Ft. Sumner, NM) http://laspace.lsu.edu/hasp • Undergraduate Student Instrument Project (USIP) - universities propose to fly a science instrument on a NASA suborbital platform (UMES with Utah State University in 2014). • Airborne Science – SARP (payloads built and flow on aircraft in California; and Wallops in the future)

  6. Teacher Opportunities • WRATS– Wallops Rocket Academy for Teachers and Students List of Teacher Opportunities http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/current-opps-index.html
