LIVE SATELLITE INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES WITH JPL TODAY

5:00 p.m. To 9:00 p.m. EDT

***** NASA ENGINEERS HELP INNER CITY KIDS *****

KEEP THE LIGHTS ON AFTER SCHOOL

On October 12, thousands of inner city, elementary school students

across the country participated in a nationwide event that
highlights the critical importance of high quality after school
enrichment programs in the lives of children.

"NASA recognizes the need of providing positive role models and

interactive, hands-on activities for kids. Often times kids in
large cities like Los Angeles, primarily minorities, are left with
no choice for after school activities. Our program, "From the
Outer Planets to the Inner City," lets kids experience the
excitement of space exploration, science and technology," said
Richard Shope, education and public outreach coordinator for
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, CA.

"I'm so proud of what JPL scientists have done in the community

and for after school programs. They've got a heart, they know how
to give, and are brilliant," said Mayor Richard Riordan, who was
present at the event where the Los Angeles Unified School District
announced the creation of a new branch to oversee and coordinate
after school programs.

Live satellite interviews are available with Richard Shope,

education and public outreach coordinator, "From the Outer Planets
to the Inner City."

To book time for this interview, call Jack Dawson at 818-354-0040

or e-mail Jack at jack.b.dawson@jpl.nasa.gov.
