00:00:03.340 --> 00:00:08.610
(Carmel Conaty) What we focus on are things that go on
outside of school. So things that go on

3
00:00:08.610 --> 00:00:15.330
either after school, summer camps, museums and science center's. Really 95 percent

4
00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:18.930
of all science learning occurs outside
the classroom, so we really want to take

5
00:00:18.930 --> 00:00:24.420
advantage of that. First we have our
visitor center where we get about

6
00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:30.359
anywhere between 35 and 40 thousand
visitors each year. We can bring the

7
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:33.690
latest stuff that goes on the work and
the people of Goddard, right to the

8
00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:38.640
visitor center. So one fun program that
we've been running for the last couple

9
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.899
years is called the Sunday experiment. On
the third Sunday of every month, we do

10
00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:47.160
hands-on activities for elementary age
students and their families from 1 to 3

11
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:52.590
p.m.. So our goal is to kind of take that
great excitement that NASA always

12
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:56.140
generates and really see if we can add
learning to it.
