Objective Interest students in technical careers and develop student ability in math and science using aeronautics applications on the World Wide Web. Approach SHAPE provides educators with interactive "aeroevents" delivered on the WWW that motivate students to learn math and science at each of the decision points in the event. Significance This project uses a hands-on interactive approach to involves students in an instructional aviation experience. Point of Contact Carey Brock, Project Manager brock@trc.dfrc.nasa.gov

Accomplishments Developed and implemented a model for using the WWW interactively. Developed a Glider aeroevent Teacher Tutorial to give teachers basic aeronautical background and to assist teachers with integration of basic aeronautics, math and science. Collaborated with more than 100 educators who are involved with the NASA DFRC's Internet Training Workshops during the summer. Plans Complete F-15 ACTIVE aeroevent Teacher Tutorial. This agreement ends in Fiscal Year 1998. This is a figure from the Glider Flight tutorial.
