"The kinds of educators we are looking for are those [formal and informal educators of students grades 8-13] who already know the basics of astronomy, are interested in learning exactly how astronomy research is conducted, and are willing to share their experiences with colleagues and students in their environment. Three all-reasonable-expenses-paid trips are integral to the program!"
