How Did I Get Here?

Any child of the 80's knows just how cool Space Camp is. I have wanted to go since I was in the 5th grade - but never happened!

A few years ago I was at a conference and went to a presentation by NASA. They started telling about their Space Camp for Teachers program but at the time I did not have enough experience. By the time I did have enough years of teaching under my belt - the program was being modified.

I had just about given up the idea when I saw an article about Space Camp for Educators on the Steve Spangler website. My district was giving Staff Development grants at that same time so I figured - what the heck! I didn't think I would get the grant (because camp was expensive) but would have hated myself if I didn't at least try. Obviously they said yes - otherwise I would not be writing this :)

Here is a glimpse into my whirlwind week of Space Camp!
