Become a Governor's School Delegate

Summer Academy at Kennedy Space Center

Florida Institute of Technology and NASA are partnering to offer the 2009 Governor's School for Space Science and Technology for gifted Florida high school seniors. Astronaut Dr. Sam Durrance and space physicist Dr. Niescja Turner (pictured above), both Florida Tech professors, will lead the two-week residential academy this summer at Kennedy Space Center.

Delegates will study the science behind space exploration and technology, get a behind-the-scenes look at launch facilities and scientific labs at KSC, and participate in a research project flying a payload on an F-104 Starfighter jet.

Activities begin on Sunday afternoon July 5, 2009 with an orientation and astronaut training experience and will conclude Friday afternoon July 17, 2009 with an awards ceremony including all 18 delegates and their families.

All Governor's School activities are provided at no charge to the participants.
