“NCASE was honored to exhibit at SEEC and meet with so\nmany educators and with representatives of the other organizations exhibiting\nor presenting at the conference,\u201d said Rol Murrow, NCASE President. \u201cTeachers\nand students have a hard time trying to identify useful resources on the\ninternet, and they were thrilled to find that NCASE acts as a national\nclearinghouse, making it easier for them to zero in on the resources they seek\nand the organizations that have them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Educators heard from keynote speakers Mike Kincaid,\nAssociate Administrator at NASA Office of STEM Engagement; Megan McArthur,\nAstronaut and Chief Science Officer at Space Center Houston; and Andrew Aldrin,\nson of Apollo 11 and Gemini 12 astronaut Buzz Aldrin who serves as President of\nthe Aldrin Family Foundation. Guest panelists included Nancy Conrad, wife to\nlate astronaut Pete Conrad and founder of the Conrad Foundation, and CEO of\nBlue Origin, Bob Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAttending SEEC gave me an opportunity to talk to teachers,\nfrom around the world, about great careers in aviation and aerospace,\u201d said\nRobin Thurman, NCASE Board Member.  I\nencouraged them to motivate students to take more STEM courses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
