and data, teams will attempt to create the most effective and impressive
lesson possible.

 

Competition Timeline

during the spring and summer months of 2008. They will learn and
practice Starry Night software discovering all of it's depth and breadth
of data and presentation functionality.

*     On September 01, 2008, the specific subject, which the lesson must
address, will be announced to all participating teams. The subject will
have an earth and space science focus. Teams will then have the period
of September 01 through December 31, 2008 to create their actual Cosmic
Lesson.

31, 2008.

In additional to a fabulous learning experience for teachers and
