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.
