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."
