Nye pledges to support our mission

Teacher Liaisons are extraordinary teachers who advocate for space in the classroom. Each year, we hold workshops and programs for these very special teachers. Plus, a group of veteran Teacher Liaisons toured the Space Foundation Discovery Institute and neighboring Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy, where they met up with none other than Bill Nye, executive director of The Planetary Society.
