The Space Facilities Management Ambassadors was one of 27 instruction projects chose in 2015 by NASA’s Science Mission Directorate for Science Activation (SciAct) financing. SciAct’s emphasis is on more successfully captivating students of any age with NASA science specialists, content, and encounters.

The AAA program’s essential objective is to quantifiably upgrade understudy STEM accomplishment and commitment in chose school regions by means of expert improvement for center school, secondary school, and junior college science teachers.

The AAA program works straightforwardly with schools and regions that have needs the AAA program can address. Members are chosen through a cutthroat companion audit proposal in addition to cooperative cycles between schools/areas and the AAA group.

AAA instructor preparing incorporates:

Mixed learning proficient advancement included online classes, offbeat substance learning, and an active educational plan studio;
A STEM inundation experience at a NASA cosmic observatory office like SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy);
Continuous interest in the AAA Community of Practice, associating members with each other and astronomy and planetary science educated authorities after their program-based preparation is finished.
Following the STEM inundation experience, AAA program staff work with the educators to carry out a NASA-arranged, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)- adjusted electromagnetic range and infrared stargazing educational plan module created by the Space Facilities Management .

An autonomous assessment of the 2017-18 AAA program exhibited enormous, genuinely huge understudy gains in principles based learning and positive changes in perspectives towards STEM subjects and vocations. The assessment report is connected here.

AAA is supported by NASA SMD Cooperative Agreement NNX16AC51A.
