NASA proudly supports
Global Science and Technology Week



 

NASA is coordinating an electronic linkage campaign that will feature a variety of resources that will be of interest to educators, students, and the general public. Special emphasis will be placed on how NASA-developed technologies, expertise, or know-how have made a difference in our everyday lives. Areas covered include communication, food-nutrition, health-medicine, remote sensing, and transportation.

 

 

The Department of Agriculture has joined with representatives from public and private organizations to develop activities to support the Global Science and Technology Week theme:

 

"Science and Technology: Serving our Global Community"

To underscore this year's GSTW theme, activities and materials are listed on this website to help parents, teachers, scientists, engineers and mathematicians excite K-12 students about the world of agriculture, a science-based global enterprise that encourages the advancement of math and science.
