Among themany features is information on what engineers do and how to become one. Designed for students ingrades six through nine, the site has links to games, downloadables, graphics, engineering societies, andother resources. One section lists “cool” things tied to engineering, such as the mechanics of getting musicfrom a compact disc to the ears, how to make a batch of plastic at home, and how to fold the world’sgreatest paper airplane.Some Additional NASA Web SitesMarshall Space Flight Centerhttp://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/home/NASA COREhttp://education1.nasa.gov/edprograms/core/homeWorldwide distribution center for NASA’s educational multimedia materials.NASA Education Home Pagehttp://education.nasa.gov
