Educator Resource Center

Space Center Houston is home to the Educator Resource Center (ERC) for NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC). We are their Official Visitor Center and one of the world’s leading science and space exploration learning centers.

ERCs are located throughout the United States and help teachers obtain and utilize NASA’s educational resources.

Both formal and informal educators can leverage NASA and Space Center Houston’s expertise. Teachers can benefit from in-service and pre-service training using NASA instructional products emphasizing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

A Workshop on Inclusion and Accessibility

This summer we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. This near impossible feat was achieved thanks to the contributions of an incredible team, including those with disabilities.

We invite you to a workshop which will provide the tools to reach all students, including hands-on accessible STEM activities. Now more than ever we need to come together and further develop our skills to inspire all future astronauts, scientists, and engineers!
