Description
From our experience with embedding interactive educational materials into school curricula, we feel there is an international void of Earth and space science data imbedded in third through ninth grade curricula. The goal of PCs in Space is to show society the benefits of Earth and space science, by showing how it can help society today. This in turn will lead to a better appreciation of NASA and the space industry, and increased funding through taxpayer supported efforts around the world.
