The Pre-Service Teacher Institute is a two-week summer residential session for Early Childhood and Elementary Education majors preparing to teach in an elementary or middle school classroom. College students from diverse backgrounds will spend a dynamic and exciting time at NASA/Johnson Space Center where they are exposed to aerospace, mathematics and science enrichment activities. Pre-service teachers are able to interface with NASA personnel, and tour Johnson Space Center facilities while learning to incorporate NASA's cutting-edge research into lesson plans for elementary and intermediate school students.
