The Astronauts Memorial Foundation (AMF) hosted the first-ever, nationwide educator conference at the Kennedy Space Center in July 2018.

Space Port Area Conference for Educators (SPACE) aims to serve teachers from across the nation by providing professional development opportunities, and high-quality STEM instructional resources. Attending educators spend three days at The Center for Space Education developing curriculum and forming relationships. Educators will be given a once in a lifetime opportunity to be immersed in the operations of Kennedy Space Center - including keynote sessions with astronauts, launch directors, and other space icons, as well as behind the scene tours of Space Port Operations.
