Session Selection

Selecting an individual breakout sessions is easy. Just read through this conference booklet to see the selections for each time slot. Then, use the “Organize Your Sessions” form to plan your conference. Please note that if the session reads “double session,” you should leave the session space following it empty. After filling out the planner, go online and make your session selections at http://www.spacecenterprogs.org/seec/seecLogin.aspx

Sessions that are full will not appear. It’s that easy! Breakout sessions include NASA tours as well as the hands-on sessions. Just be sure to choose quickly as some sessions and tours fill up fast. (All tours require closed-toe shoes.)

If a session is full, don’t worry. Check with the conference help table when you arrive to determine if there are openings, or watch the “swap” board for the session ticket.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

Important! Please read carefully

 Your visit to NASA is a special event. You will enter working facilities subject to strict safety and security policies. Please follow the direction of your host escort at all times.

 It is essential that all members of the group stay together and not venture from their NASA escort. Wandering into restricted areas constitutes a security violation and could result in the termination of your visit.

 Your visit will require walking and standing for extended periods and may involve climbing several flights of stairs. Guests should wear comfortable, flat, fully enclosed shoes (no high-heels, sandals, flip-flops, slides, mules, Crocs, etc.) during their visit. We also recommend that guests wear slacks (instead of shorts or skirts) as an additional safety precaution.

 Cameras are welcome in all facilities unless instructed otherwise. However, photography of individuals is discouraged without permission. Attention all non-U.S. citizens If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must fill out a NASA JSC Security Form in order to attend the NASA tours. Please go to the SEEC website for more information and to download the form. http://spacecenter.org/education-programs/teacher-programs/teachers-seec/
