You may want to consider signing up for the advanced TI-2 on Remote
Sensing and Data Gathering.

Please feel free to share information about the Teachers Institute with
others in your circle, or in your school district. A listing on your
school or school district website? A newsletter? A web page for
science and technology teachers? Word of mouth to teachers in your
circle? We'd like to get the word out to reach teachers who can take
advantage of this opportunity. If you would like to receive copies of
our printed brochures to give to colleagues, please send your request
