Congratulations, Marta - Those folks in Oregon are getting a wonderful
resource. Remember that we'll always be here when you need us - and we
can't wait to hear about all sorts of great projects in Oregon. We do have
some Fellows there already. Hope you can hook up with them sometime.
Let us know your new email address so we can keep you in the loop.

>>students to the excitement and exploration of real-world mathematics,
>>science, and technology. The NASA "Why?" Files is video and web-based and

>>the content-driven, instructional quality of video programming. The
>>user-friendly web site engages students, teachers, and parents in the
>>learning experience by linking them to a world of formal and informal
>>"learning opportunities" that include NASA programs, projects, and
>>researchers. The presence of educational technology in the series mirrors
