December 11 -- Even though NASA is uniquely positioned to interest students in science, technology, and engineering, the elementary and secondary education programs of NASA's Office of Education are not as effective as they could be, says a new National Research Council report. To improve effectiveness, NASA should partner with outside experts in education, and some programs should be restructured to capitalize on the agency's own expertise and on new technologies.
