Welcome to the NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador page for southern Arizona!
This page contains information about
NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador
events in the Tucson area. The Solar System Ambassador program is a volunteer
outreach program sponsored by the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The listing here is of events I am organizing or involved in. If you are a teacher
or member of a civic group that would like a speaker, or if you need information about
current Solar System exploration, please
send me an email. I also do
model rocketry demonstrations and lessons for schools.
In the future, I will be adding educational pages to
my home page
including the Weather Around the Solar System page, the
Women Working at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory page,
and an educational activity called Five Worlds: An Exercise in
Comparative Planetology around November 1, 2005, so please
check back for those.
Ad astra!
