ZERO-G is actively developing and maintaining programs and partnerships that provide educators and students with the excitement of a ZERO-G Experience while incorporating planned demonstrations and advanced experiments.
Educators
Professional development programs for educators offer an exclusive opportunity to enhance subjects like algebra, art, biology, chemistry, geometry, physics, reading, and more through unique experimentation in a true weightless environment.
Designed as a turn key operation, ZERO-G’s teacher professional development programs easily integrate into existing classroom curriculum. And because the programs align with National Math, Science, and Technology Standards, teachers qualify for in-service and, in some cases, graduate school credit hours. Read more about our teacher professional development programs by clicking below on the Education Program Descriptions link.
Students
Students may choose to perform simple experiments in Martian, Lunar, and Zero gravity as part of a science fair projects or just to discover what it’s like to travel in space. Back in school, they will excite their classmates and teachers with pictures and video of their weightless experience for years to come.
Like our teacher programs, the student workshops and flights align with several National Math, Science, and Technology standards required in today’s classrooms. That means students may even be eligible for extra credit. A description of the student programs can be found by clicking on the Education Program Descriptions link below.
