Mr. Zukowski attended "The Space Age on the Space Coast" teacher workshop recently at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. From July 12-17, Mr. Zukowski and 30 other teachers from across the United States learned about how the east central coast of Florida, through its history and geography, impacted the development of the United States space program in conjunction with other NASA and military facilities throughout the country.
Teachers in the program had guest speakers, which included an astronaut, a seamstress who worked for NASA, and a NASA engineer. Visits were made to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center each day that included a close-up tour of the Shuttle Atlantis display. Time was also allotted for a tour of the communications center, a visit to launch pads, as well as a tour of the infamous 525-foot-tall Vehicle Assembly Building where Artemis III is now being assembled to launch astronauts to the moon in the next year.
The United States space program is alive and well, and this workshop brought teachers together to learn about some of the greatest innovations in humankind.
