I went to Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX for the July 2012 PSTI program. PSTI stands for Pre Service Teacher Institute. It is an awesome opportunity for education majors to get hands-on, real world , inquiry-based training. The program provides information, tools, activities, and networking activities. Throughout the week, we have heard from amazing guest speakers, learned about the programs of JSC as well as the programs that are available for teachers.
It was an amazing week as indicated by the photos. I was able to meet Christopher Kraft and Clay Anderson (a real life astronaut!). I made new friends and learned many activities for my future classroom. I touched a real moon rock and part of an astroid that had particles 8 billion years old. The NASA PSTI experience is something that I recommend to any pre-service teacher.
