KM PERFORM DIRECTOR JOINS SPACE FOR TEACHERS PROGRAM!!! Kevin Erickson has been selected to participate in the Space for Teachers Embedded Teacher Program (ETP). The program offers a rare opportunity for Mr. Erickson to collaborate with his students, aerospace experts, and flight mentors on a research project that he will fly and test in weightlessness aboard the Zero-G parabolic aircraft. This experience connects classroom learning to authentic aerospace research and allows students to see their ideas tested in a true microgravity environment.
