Project Accomplishments. The EFP FY09 project plan listed expected major project tasks and milestones for the year. The project accomplished the following tasks identified in the plan: • Established new cooperative agreements with Oklahoma State University (OSU) for Teaching From Space and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Science for ISS EarthKAM • Developed a plan for the redesign of the NEAT based on the recommendations from the FY08 external NEAT benchmarking study • Designed and launched three new education websites, including a project website that serves as a gateway to existing flight projects, project descriptions, and contact information • Continued to lead Agency efforts to use the flights (STS-119) of educator astronauts as extraordinary opportunities to inspire and engage both educators and students by developing both a national education and promotion plan • Released an internal call for proposals in FY09 to identify potential partnerships with Agency education flight projects, specifically those that provide educator/student hands on experiences, participation, and research applications on-board NASA flight platforms • Established a committee comprised of Amateur Radio on the ISS (ARISS) major stakeholders to improve communications, define roles and responsibilities, and increase education; hosted ARISS education meeting at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Space Center; lead education meetings at the ARISS International meeting • Expanded opportunities to “push-pull” to and from other NASA K-12 and eEducation projects; increased the ability of EFP to leverage and integrate resources across the NASA Education portfolio • Completed a record number of on-orbit education demonstrations that result in video used in the development of education activities and resources • Completed all requirements for the manifest and launch of an ISS education payload; the payload contains demonstration items to be used in education demonstrations and downlinks • Partnered with Channel One News on an education downlink during STS-119; downlink reached an estimated audience of 150,000 educators and 6 million students • Partnered with Lockheed ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on Signatures in Space; 550,000 student signatures were sent to space • Worked with ISS International Partners and NASA Public Affairs Office to develop a selection and implementation process for international education downlinks • Worked with NASA Public Affairs Office, Behavioral Health Program (ISS crew), and the Astronaut Office to produce a policy document for ISS crew discretionary events

Project Accomplishments. EFP contributes to two annual performance goals: In FY07, EFP had 34,602 students involved in its activities. In FY08, the number of students was 71,083. See the section on Project Contributions to PART Measures for specific information on the breakdown of the total number. In FY07, baseline numbers did not include EFP numbers. New baselines for the project will be established using the FY08 numbers. For specific information on the EAP FY08 numbers see the section on Project Contributions to PART Measures. The integrated EAP and EFP FY09 project FY08 plan listed expected major project tasks and milestones for the year. The project accomplished the following tasks identified tasks, as listed in the project plan: • Established new cooperative agreements  Investigate existing Elementary and Secondary and Outcome 2 projects and activities to identify and explore possible synergy/continuity  Evaluate and define role of Centers in support of specific activities and projected future FTEs by Center  Communicate and work with Oklahoma State University Performing Centers on project direction and collaboration opportunities  Evaluate project and activity assessment tools (OSUi.e. NEEIS)  Develop a strategy to implement National Research Council (NRC) recommendations  Develop a plan for an internal partnership call  Explore opportunities to collaborate with existing NASA education flight projects  Issue a Cooperative Agreement Notice for Teaching From from Space (TFS)  Complete development and begin implementation of a TFS web strategy  Develop a strategy to continue funding for ISS EarthKAM cooperative agreement  Begin to improve ARISS education content and resources  Lead the Agency efforts to design education activities for STS-119  Coordinate two face to face meeting with Center Leads  Establish partnerships with other NASA education flight projects that offer student involvement  Investigate partnerships with external education organizations, private industry, and other federal agencies In addition, EFP had the following significant accomplishments during FY08:  Development of a plan to increase the education value of ARISS in FY09 by: scheduling an ARISS contact as part of the US Department of Education International Education Week; promoting ARISS to informal education audiences; facilitating development of a Digital Learning Network (DLN) module on amateur radio; and showcasing ARISS at the national International Technology Education Association (ITEA) conference  Development with SEMAA management of a defined strategy to increase SEMAA participation in education flight projects by introducing SEMAA sites to ISS Downlinks, ARISS contacts, and ISS EarthKAM in FY09  Facilitation of seven education downlinks, including the first “coast to coast” ISS downlink that involved students in both New York and California and the first downlink hosted by a public library system  Coordination of ARISS contacts at major venues, including Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Delta Researchers Schools, Smithsonian Folk Life Festival, European Space Camp, and Challenger Centers  Facilitation of five on-orbit education demonstrations, including one on the International Polar Year  Development of the first ISS EarthKAM Earth Klimate Analysis Mission student competition that utilized the extensive ISS EarthKAM image collection to investigate climate change  Facilitated on-orbit activities with ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Science for ISS EarthKAM • Developed a plan for the redesign in support of Space Act Agreements For its support of the NEAT based on the recommendations from the FY08 external NEAT benchmarking study • Designed and launched three new education websitesSTS-118 mission, including a project website that serves as a gateway to existing flight projectsthree ISS downlinks, project descriptionsan ARISS contact, and contact information • Continued to lead Agency efforts to use Education Payload Operations, the flights (STS-119) of educator astronauts as extraordinary opportunities to inspire and engage both educators and students by developing both Teaching From Space office received a national education and promotion plan • Released an internal call for proposals in FY09 to identify potential partnerships with Agency education flight projects, specifically those that provide educator/student hands on experiences, participation, and research applications on-board NASA flight platforms • Established a committee comprised of Amateur Radio on the ISS (ARISS) major stakeholders to improve communications, define roles and responsibilities, and increase education; hosted ARISS education meeting at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Space Center; lead education meetings at the ARISS International meeting • Expanded opportunities to “push-pull” to and from other NASA K-12 and eEducation projects; increased the ability of EFP to leverage and integrate resources across the NASA Education portfolio • Completed a record number of on-orbit education demonstrations that result in video used in the development of education activities and resources • Completed all requirements for the manifest and launch of an ISS education payload; the payload contains demonstration items to be used in education demonstrations and downlinks • Partnered with Channel One News on an education downlink during STS-119; downlink reached an estimated audience of 150,000 educators and 6 million students • Partnered with Lockheed ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on Signatures in Space; 550,000 student signatures were sent to space • Worked with ISS International Partners and NASA Public Affairs Office to develop a selection and implementation process for international education downlinks • Worked with NASA Public Affairs Office, Behavioral Health Program (ISS crew), and the Astronaut Office to produce a policy document for ISS crew discretionary eventsCenter Group Achievement Award.
