“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend the HE @ SA program. The experience was unbelievable and inspired me to work even harder and more creatively to promote math, science, and technology in my classroom and throughout the school. Once again, thank you very much for the opportunity of a lifetime.”
— Michael Mecca, Buffalo Public School #197, Hamburg, New York
“The Honeywell Space Academy is ‘Hands Down’ the most incredible professional development program that I have ever attended. Space Academy was a realistic, challenging, and exciting adventure from start to finish. All Earth Science teachers should have to attend it.”
“During the week-long program, I gained a renewed spirit of adventure, love for the space program, hope for the future, and gathered new ideas with materials for my classroom. Throughout the week, we attended astronaut-training sessions, lectures by guest NASA speakers, and manipulated hands-on activities that we can recreate for our students. In addition, we learned about the symbolism of creating mission patches, designed water pressure propelled model rockets and learned innovative interactive math and science activities.”
“My experiences at Space Academy have inspired me to reinvigorate my lessons with newly designed material and to share what I have learned with math and science teachers within my school and from around the world.”
“My participation at Space Academy has been an invaluable experience that I will continue to draw from in the years ahead to inspire my students, the future stars of the space program.”
— Amy Bartlett, Space Academy Alumni
“If you are remotely interested in science, technology, engineering or math, and how that can incorporate into your classroom you have to come and be a part of Honeywell Educators @ Space Academy. When the teachers first get here they are a little shy and as the entire week progresses they travel together, they become closer in not just their workshops but also in the missions and overcoming their challenges that we present to them, that they just, they become a real cohesive group.”
— Jon Andrews, UK
“It’s a massive honor to be involved in this. It really, really is something special.”
— Keith Rosso, Frelinghuysen Middle School, Morristown, NJ
