Horace Mann Middle School science teacher James Schliefke is at space camp this week after earning a scholarship from Honeywell.
Schliefke, a resident of Franklin, was one of 288 teachers from 16 countries and 47 states chosen to take part in the Honeywell Educators @ Space Academy programs at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
The Honeywell Educators @ Space Academy programs provide teachers with new and innovative techniques to educate their students about science and math.
The programs focus on space science and exploration in a variety of classroom, laboratory and real-life astronaut training, including: a high-performance jet simulation, scenario-based space missions, land and water survival training, and state-of-the-art flight dynamics programs.
Schliefke is the only teacher from Massachusetts chosen to attend.
