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.
