ADULT VOLUNTEERS, VISITING TEACHERS & VISITING SCIENTISTS
Based on the interest of several teachers and community members from the aerospace industry we have created a volunteer staff position for them.  Interested adults wishing to participate should contact Doc Palmere (303-985-3143) for additional details.  A few years ago, Space Voyage Academy had an orthopedic surgeon who was trained for space medicine attend for a week. What a great resource!!   Like all areas of or staffing program, we will only put volunteers in positions where they can be successful. These staff members must be able to attend for a minimum of three days from a program week.  Generally, volunteers and visiting teachers help for one session.
