These kids are the video generation. We had some kids we hadn't been able to reach before who really got involved in this because it was real. Pam Schmidt, 8th grade teacher, Thunder Ridge Middle School, Aurora, Colo.
JASON is built the way kids need to learn. It's one of those rare curricula that can actually motivate and teach problem-solving skills to all kinds. The San Jose Mercury News
The JASON Project is the grand-daddy of all interactive science projects.  | | U.S. Rep. Alan B. Mollohan (D-WV) with National Argonauts on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. | Heather Renz, JASON Project Teacher Argonaut, Rainforests at the Crossroads
This program motivates them [students] to want to learn. This is the number one key factor for students. If they're not motivated to learn, it's pretty hard to make them learn. There's not a better program to teach science. U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Maryland
Nothing inspires us about science and exploration like our oceans do, and nobody inspires us better than Dr. Ballard. That's why I am so excited The JASON Project is coming to visit Maryland to address some of our top-notch students.  Naomi Mayer, Department of Defense Dependent Schools-Pacific Elementary curriculum specialist
The JASON Project really sparks their interest in science. Plus, they get role models of real scientists. Harouna Ba, lead researcher, Education Development Center's Center for Children & Technology, Third-Year Study of JASON Curriculum
JASON helps students understand scientific content, concepts and technologies regardless of their reading and writing abilities. It made them understand that science is about "doing" and not "reading." Kim Rado, teacher, Aurora Upper Intermediate School, Bedford Heights, Ohio
I can teach something like classification in a variety of ways using JASON. Instead of classifying buttons, my students are classifying tropical skittles, or rain forest animals. They're doing inquiry and hands-on learning, and when they're having fun and are excited, learning comes easy.  NASA-sponsored independent review of JASON's Mysteries of Earth and Mars curriculum
Several reviewers noted [JASON's Mysteries of Earth and Mars curriculum] is one of the best NASA education products that they have ever reviewed, and one reviewer noted it as the 'best product I have seen in 15 years of teaching.' U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, Michigan
I wholeheartedly support the efforts of The JASON Project to take students on a fantastic adventure that combines science, technology and many of Earth's natural wonders. Sydney Fitzpatrick, former JASON Student, Quantico Middle High School, Quantico Marine Corps Base, Va.
We do a lot with our hands. We get to interact with the equipment and the scientists we're studying.  Jerry Linenger, retired NASA astronaut
The JASON Project is a rare and exciting opportunity for students to launch into the history of discovery...to reflect upon the achievements of the past in an effort to contribute to the knowledge of the future. USA Today
This is education at its best. U.S. Rep. Frank R. Wolf, Virginia
JASON is exemplary in promoting science among our nation's young people. |
