Join NASA and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum for the Apollo Space Program Virtual Conference for Educators, a FREE online conference taking place on Nov. 10, 2009, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.

Forty years ago the Apollo Space Program met President Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the moon, one of the most significant achievements of the 20th Century.

Join experts as they present the challenges of the Apollo program and examine the remarkable technologies that made the moon landings possible.

Participate in interactive discussions that highlight the Apollo program and its impact on American and world history and our lives today. Explore ways to teach your students how to use primary source materials.

The online conference includes sessions of general interest and sessions for secondary teachers with ties to the NASA History Advanced Placement and Human Geography Advanced Placement projects.
