http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/MESSENGER/fellow.htm

The human race is going back to Mercury! NASA's MESSENGER (MErcurySurface, 
Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) mission will beonly the second 
spacecraft to ever go to the innermost planet of ourSolar System. Launched in 
2004, it will make two passes by the innermostplanet in 2007 and 2008, and 
finally go into orbit in 2009. So farhumanity has ONLY seen half of Mercury's 
surface and there is a greatdeal more we have to learn about the planet. How 
would you like to helptake the nation along for the ride as a 
MESSENGER Educator Fellow? 

What is a MESSENGER Fellow? 

The MESSENGER Education and Outreach Program Team is implementinga nationwide 
teacher training initiative whereby a cadre of 30 Fellows -master science 
teachers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels- will conduct 
educator workshops nationally, training up to 27,000 gradepre-K through 12 
educators over the mission lifetime. Training will beconducted on 
concept-based, inquiry driven lessons developed by theMESSENGER education team. 
Forming the core of the MESSENGER EducationModules (MEMS), these 
standards-based lessons address solar systemscience, planetary observations 
through history, and the engineeringassociated with building and sending a 
spacecraft to another world.Additional MEM lessons will highlight other NASA 
solar system explorationmissions. As educators, this is your chance to make a 
real impact in theK-12 community! 

The MESSENGER Education and Outreach Program Team is made up ofindividuals from 
the following organizations: Challenger Center for SpaceScience Education, 
Carnegie Academy for Science Education, Center forEducational Resources at 
Montana State University - Bozeman, AmericanAssociation for the Advancement of 
Science, Minority University-SPaceInterdisciplinary Network, National Air and 
Space Museum, Goddard SpaceFlight Center and Science Systems and Applications, 
Inc.
