Biographical Information:

 

 
Photo of AmbassadorBev Ketron, Education Outreach Director for iSPACE (interactive Science, sPace and Aeronautics Center for Education) received two Bachelor of Arts degrees from Northern Kentucky University: Geography (1983-Outstanding Senior in Geography Award) & Elementary Education/ K-4 with an endorsement for Middle School Science (1997). She attended Indiana Wesleyan University to receive her Master's in Education (2002- Outstanding Professional Award). Prior to being named Education Outreach Director, Bev taught at Kenton Elementary.
Bev is a member of NSTA and KSTA, is a state partner for the national initiative-Building a Presence for Science, and volunteers for both the Cincinnati Regional and Kentucky State FIRST LEGO League (FLL) tournaments.

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!"
