Each year, AESP, in cooperation with NASA, will assemble a Toolkit of open-source materials related to an annual theme. The Toolkit provides, in one place, a rich collection of NASA and non-NASA curricula, activities, visualizations, videos, datasets, and other materials, as well as evaluative notes and suggestions for using and adapting those materials in K-12 teacher professional development. The Toolkits will be available on the AESP website.
The subject-matter focus of the proposed course must be related to one of these toolkits. The specific topic of the course should be relevant to the needs of teachers in the state(s) that will be served by the course. It is not required that the course content be narrowly limited to the annual theme. For example, potential courses might use the Lunar Exploration Toolkit in courses like, Robotic Exploration, Planetology, or The Earth-Moon-Sun System.
