Perspectives - Spring 2011

The Perspectives class is coming to Columbia/Fulton and GRACE is hosting it. If some of this stuff on this blog is interesting to you, you should probably take the class.

In case you don't know, my involvement with student missions largely hinged on the content in this class - specifically that high school kids needed to experience some of the concepts outlined in this class and were not. SPACE, and consequently Ember, were started out of a response to this class. Seven years after I took Perspectives, there's a small group of co-conspirators that understood some of the class's ideas and they are making their mark.

Anyway. Here is the outline for the Spring - some fantastic speakers with worlds of knowledge. If you are on the fence, you should lean towards signing up.
