iSPACE, Inc., a non-profit interactive science center
and an emerging site for an internationally acclaimed
Challenger Learning Center, will be located in Sharonville,
Ohio and is expected to open its doors to the public
in 2006. In the meantime, the outreach program will
serve students and families in the Tri-State area by
continuing as the regional FLL partner for Cincinnati
and the state of KY and by providing robotics and space
science workshops for students and educators, summer
camps, and various family events.
"My greatest hope, as an educator, is to instill
a passion for learning in others by modeling that passion
within my own life. I feel very fortunate to be a part
of iSPACE and the Solar System Ambassadors program, especially
since the combination of the two will provide me with
a wonderful opportunity to further explore and share
one of my greatest interests - space science."
Favorite quote: "The stars exist that we might
know how high our dreams can soar!"
