    Above are some photos of my 1997 stay in Huntsville, Alabama during Space Camp for
    Teachers (run by NASA).  I had the good fortune to receive a scholarship to attend a
    week long program that I was able to bring into my classroom.  I enthusiastically
    recommend Space Camp for kids.  It's a great way to learn science and all about our
    nation's space program.
