High School Teachers Invited To Experience Astronaut Training, Development

Honeywell Educators @ Space Academy Delivers Teaching Techniques Designed To Inspire Students' Interest In STEM

Teachers of mathematics and science around the world are invited to apply for the 2015 Honeywell Educators @ Space Academy (HESA) program, a simulated astronaut training and professional development program of Honeywell at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Created in partnership with the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in 2004, HESA is designed to address the trends in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education by providing teachers with new technical skills and teaching techniques that help motivate students around the world. Since the inception of the program, Honeywell has sponsored more than 2,375 teachers from 55 countries to participate in the HESA program. These teachers have further inspired over two million students.

Each successful applicant will receive a full scholarship following a rigorous and lengthy application and selection process involving competing teachers from around the world. Scholarships include tuition for the five-day program, roundtrip airfare, meals, accommodations, program materials, and flight suits, all sponsored by Honeywell and contributions from Honeywell employees.

Honeywell Educators will participate in 45 hours of professional development, as well as an intensive educator curriculum focused on space science and exploration. Activities include classroom, laboratory, and field training exercises linked to international science and math teaching standards. Each teacher will also undergo simulated astronaut training including:

  • A high-performance jet simulation
  • Scenario-based space mission
  • Land and water survival training
  • Interactive flight dynamics programs

The application deadline for the 2016 Honeywell Educators @ Space Academy is Monday, January 4, 2016. Applicants will be assigned one of the two sessions: June 8 - June 14, 2016 or June 15 - June 21, 2016. Acceptance notifications will be made by early January 2016.
