NASA, JPL and Arizona State University have partnered to create the ASU Planetary Imaging and Analysis Facility and Advanced Training Institute within the Mars Space Flight Facility on the Arizona State University campus.
ASU Mars Education Program provides workshops, field trips, and other opportunities for teachers and students to join with scientists in the excitment of Mars exploration.
In addition, the program offers professional-development conferences to train teachers how they can use space exploration to fire up their students' imaginations, while at the same time integrating STEM themes (science, technology, engineering, and math) and inquiry-based learning into the curriculum.
