This may be of interest to any educators in the club:

Applications are now available for educators interested in joining NASA 
Explorer Schools during the 2008-2009 school year. Schools from the 50 states, 
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands may apply for the 
NES 2008-2009 school year. NES offers unique opportunities designed to engage 
and educate the future scientists who may someday advance U.S. scientific 
interests through space exploration.

Teams composed of full-time teachers and a school administrator develop and 
implement a three-year action plan to address local challenges in science, 
technology and mathematics education for grades 4-9. Schools that are selected 
are eligible to receive funding during the three-year partnership to purchase 
technology tools. The project also provides educators and students with 
content-specific activities that can be used within the curricula to excite 
students about science, technology, engineering, and math.

Applications are due Jan. 31, 2008. For more information, visit
