Hi, Kids! Take a moment and read the following text from the NASA group at
Sonoma University, CA. As a current EA (Educational Ambassador), I can vouch
for the worthiness of the program. They pay you hard cash and all you need
to do is LET them fly you out to sunny California for a week for your ideas!
Cool!
Feel free to contact me if you have further questions or want the "real"
dirt on it.
