AIM / CloudSat / GLOBE 2007 Educator Workshop

A message from Dianne Robinson
AIM / CloudSat / GLOBE 2007 Workshop Director

Thanks for making this summer's workshop a great success. Hopefully each of you took away a little of the Alaska experience and met a few new friends. I hope the workshop helped you "recharge" for the upcoming school year. We were so fortunate that Astronaut Don Pettit made time for us once again this year. It is always fun to hear about space from one who has actually been there. The AIM mission PI and Deputy PI, Drs Russell and Bailey did a great job of explaining science concepts that can seem overwhelmingly complex. Paul Adams, of course, is the one who makes it all come together with his rare ability to show us those hands on science activities that we can really use while teaching us the science in a very fun and relaxed environment. We are putting your projects on the web now. You have some great ideas. Please keep in touch and hopefully those ideas you got at the workshop will grow and develop into great student projects. Watch for the AIM cloud network that we will be developing with Matt Rogers modeling the CloudSat network. Enjoy the rest of your summer and thanks for being the wonderful educators you are!
