NASA proposal funded, US FETTU moves forward
5 November 2008
In October 2008, NASA approved an Education and Public Outreach proposal for the FETTU. Approximately $300,000 (US) has been awarded for use in 2009 and 2010. This money will fund two semi-permanent FETTU exhibits in Chicago (in conjunction with the Adler Planetarium) and Atlanta (with Agnes Scott College and the Hartsfield International Airport), as well as a traveling version that will have multiple stops across the US. Several locations for this traveling version have already been identified and others will be added as the schedule develops. The NASA grant will also provide the FETTU organizers the ability to create informal education products, materials for visually impaired users, and evaluation information. These and other elements that are enabled by the NASA grant will be shared with FETTU organizers worldwide.
