2014 Flight Experiments Applications Now Open
 
The Space Frontier Foundation's Teachers in Space (TIS) project is now accepting applications for its  Flight Experiment summer workshop.  
 
The Flight Experiment workshop offers hands-on, repeatable experience  with suborbital and orbital experiment design and launch processes.  Participants will build, launch, track, retrieve, and analyze captured  data from weather balloon experiments which can be recreated within a  typical classroom budget. Teachers will learn about commercial  spaceflight, suborbital and glider and balloon flight, meteorology,  basic glider controls, basic instrumentation, control surfaces, and  simple pre-made instruments that will be flying with teachers in gliders  and on weather balloons. They will also learn about pressure change,  accelerometers, and dosimeters. The experience will culminate with  teachers practicing what was learned during the week as they launch  their own weather balloons.
 
The workshop will be held in Columbus GA, on July 21-25, 2014.
If you are a teacher of science, technology, engineering, or math at  the high school level we encourage you to apply. Space is limited; only  30 seats are available. The deadline for workshop applications is April  15, 2014.  The workshop is free of charge.
