>>Dear Educator/Parent,
>>
>>Please forward this information to your math, science and technology
>>teachers.
>>
>>Space Day-The annual celebration dedicated to the extraordinary achievements
>>and opportunities in the exploration of space.
>>
>>The goal of Space Day is to advance science, math, and technology education,
>>and to inspire youngsters to realize the vision of our space pioneers. This
>>year Space Day will be celebrated on May 4, 2000 and will unveil the
>>National Classroom-the most comprehensive online cooperative learning
>>experience to date.
>>
>>This year's educational initiative involves the Design Challenges, three
>>creative problem-solving activities designed for students in grades 4, 5 and
>>6, that deal with the challenges of living and working in space-the theme of
>>Space Day 2000. The Design Challenges give teachers the right stuff to
>>inspire students' interest and make abstract concepts in math, science and
>>technology come to life. Interdisciplinary in nature, and carefully
>>predicated on principles of effective learning, the Design Challenges also
>>encourage students to work collaboratively.
>>
>>Teachers and students will find everything they need to join the National
>>Classroom and participate in the Design Challenges at spaceday.com-the "hub"
>>of Space Day 2000. The Design Challenges begin now and student solutions
>>must be submitted by March 31, 2000 for special recognition by Space Day.
>>
>>Space Day is supported by over 60 prestigious partner organizations
>>including NASA, the National Science Foundation, the National Council of
>>Teachers of Mathematics, the National Science Teachers Association, the
>>National Association of Elementary School Principals, Challenger Center for
>>Space Science Education, the Boy Scouts of America, and the Girls Scouts of
>>the U.S.A..
