Good afternoon!<br>
<br>
My name is Jordan Snyder and I am an Education Specialist with NASA. I am
writing this message to make you aware of an opportunity to start using
NASA resources to teach the concepts you already teach in your classroom.
Through the NASA Explorer Schools project, gain access to some incredible
NASA resources that make the connection between STEM concepts taught in
the classroom and real world application in outer space, climate change
and much much more. More importantly, we offer an audio-based graphing
tool called MathTrax that will allow blind students to hear different
functions and equations on a graph. When you factor in the recognition
opportunities for students and teachers, including all expenses paid 3-5
day trips to NASA for tours and research, this free resource is hard to
pass up. For more information on the project and how to get registered,
check out the informational document I've attached to this message.<br>
<br>
In order to go more in-depth with the NASA resources and opportunities
available to you, we've set up a special one-hour informational session
on NASA Explorer Schools on August 7th at 7 pm EDT. During this session,
I'll go over MathTrax and its capabilities so you can begin using it next
school year. If you are interested in this session and learning more
about NES and MathTrax, please contact me at
<a href="mailto:jordan.snyder@nasa.gov">jordan.snyder@nasa.gov</a>. Once
you send that email, I'll add your email address to the list of
participants for that session. Late in July, you will receive a link in
your email for the session. If you have internet access, you'll just need
to click that link and you will be able to join the session on August
7th. <br>
<br>
If you'd like to check out NES on your own you can visit:

I was teaching middle school math and I think many of you will find the
resources not only useful, but engaging and inspiring to your
students!<br>
<br>
Looking forward to hearing back from you about joining our session.<br>
Best regards, <br>
<br>
