The funding will specifically support the Center in providing equipment, teacher training, curricula development, computers and books.This project is a good use of taxpayer funds because the Space & Rocket Center provides a unique access point for STEM education opportunities for underserved and rural students in North Alabama, the state as a whole, and beyond. Student success beyond technology, but facilitated by the technology is the key function that the Center can provide with this project. It would provide access for students to guest speakers - leaders in the emerging space industry, not limited to commercial space launch activity. Emerging career paths such as engineering, healthcare, technology, and cyber that the Rocket Center offers could be modeled for students in rural and underserved areas. | 1 Tranquility Base, Huntsville, AL 35805 | 400000 |
