NSF, in conjunction with NASA, sponsored the teachers to  attend a one-week intense training session at Goddard Flight Center in Maryland in June. The training was customized from five of the NASA courses on soldering, ESD, fiber optics, crimping, surface mount and polymeric coverings. The teachers learned many techniques and had a chance to tour the Flight Center. NASA also donated 120 soldering kits for their students, which are being used in this year’s activities.
