Afterschool Universe - Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD

Afterschool Universe, an astronomy afterschool program for
middle-schoolers, has an upcoming training workshop to be held on
September 23-24 at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.  The
deadline for signing up is September 14.

This will be a 2-day comprehensive, in-person training that will prepare
you to lead our program or train others to do so.  We cover a lot of
material in this time, so please plan to be on time and stay all day on
both days.  After successfully completing this training, you will
receive a certificate which documents your participation.
Unfortunately, at this time there is no way to participate in this
training at a distance.

This training is free to all participants, and contingent upon
sufficient signups.  Please note that we cannot cover travel expenses if
you need to travel to attend one of these trainings.  Also please note
that due to government facility security considerations, we will only be
accepting US Citizens for this training.  You can sign up for this
training on our website at http://universe.nasa.gov/au/training.html

Please note that while anybody can access the online program resources
or attend one of our in-person trainings, the curriculum is targeted at
kids in out-of-school-time programs in the middle-school age range
(rising fifth graders to eighth graders), and this training will be
tailored towards people that work with those groups.  The materials to
run our program mostly consists of stuff that is easily obtainable at
the grocery store, Kmart, etc., with only a few materials that need to
be purchased at specialized retailers.

We understand that the timing involved in this is rather last-minute,
but how that you will be able to make it work anyway.
