The purpose of NASA Educator Resource Centers are to help teachers learn
about and use 

NASA's educational resources. The GSFC ERCs works with educators at all
levels and types 

(Pre-Service, In-Service, Informal and Higher Education) to find out what
they need and to 

share NASA's expertise. The ERCs provide educators with demonstrations of
educational technologies 

such as NASA educational websites. ERCs provide in-service and pre-service
training 

using NASA instructional products. Educators also have the opportunity to
preview, copy and 

receive NASA instructional products. The ERC activities have a close
association with NASA 

specialists, scientists and engineers who often act as resources for
workshops and special events. 

GSFC has ERCs located at Greenbelt, MD, Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) -
Wallops, VA, and Independent 

Verification and Validation (IV&V) - Fairmont, WV, in addition to affiliated
regional 

ERCs, serving educators in: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New 

Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and
Washington, DC.

Providing Free Educator Resources: Serving teachers, informal educators, and
pre-service 

teachers to enable them to integrate NASA unique STEM content into their
classrooms.

Professional Development: Free workshops using NASA unique materials to
enhance 

curriculum needs and address content standards in areas such as Earth
Science, Space Science, 

Aerospace, Technology, and Engineering.

NASA Classroom Equipment Loan: Geo-Lab portable Planetarium, teaching
materials, 

Engineering Design Challenges, Model Rocketry launchers, Mass and Weight
kits, Magic Planet 

Science on a Sphere units and more.

Free Publications & Products: Posters, Videos, Lithographs, DVDs, NASA TV
Episodes, CD-

ROMs, Curriculum Guides, Podcasts.
