Hello,
I am a recently retired 5th grade teacher Ledyard. I have run and continue to run an afterschool aerospace science program for 4th-6th graders called “Aerospace Adventurers.” As I am looking to enhance my program, I was wondering if CT Space Grant might consider supporting this initiative in any way. Specifically,I am looking for:
1. possible professional development funding to attend the Space Exploration Educators Conference in Houston this February or the National Science Teachers Conference in San Antonio this April. OR
2. school bus transportation funding (about $350) for a family field trip to the New England Air Museum for their “Women in Aviation” day on November 4 OR
3. a connection with my students and those in the university community for possible visitation programs relating to aerospace science or engineering.
Please let me know if you see any possibilities here in order for me to enrich my STEM program. .

Hi Stuart!
Please send this request in the form of an email to ctspgrant@hartford.edu. We would be more than happy to support you and your aerospace program!
Thanks
