Organizations that build the world's space training systems have access to a wealth of engineering and operations knowledge. That knowledge is organized and packaged into some of the world's top-notch technical curricula and courses - courses that reach a training audience of astronauts and cosmonauts, mission controllers, and engineering support teams. What if that same knowledge and course media could be redesigned, repackaged, and taught to our world's youth? The space engineering and technology outreach opportunities would be tremendous. This paper presents an example of a hands-on educational outreach program that was designed around this concept, and has been used in U.S. high schools to teach Geography, Physics and Earth Science students how space vehicle engineering and remote sensing operations relate to their daily studies. Authors' Biographical Sketch Steven Berry is a Senior Principal Product Engineer with The Boeing Company. Mr. Berry graduated from the University of Illinois with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, 1985. He is a 1992 alumnus of the International Space University. He received an M.A. in Multi-Cultural Studies from the University of Houston, Clear Lake, 1993. Among his recent business accomplishments, Mr. Berry led a multi-national, global engineering team in prototyping a distributed simulator to be used for ground astronaut training delivery on the international space station program. He has been involved in educational outreach programs in local schools, and has participated in national workshops on educational outreach and e-learning. Mr. Berry leads an organizational effectiveness project at The Boeing Company that facilitates work teams, and deploys workforce teambuilding and leadership programs. He also oversees workforce training programs for software engineering and business initiatives at The Boeing Company.
