During the second five years of its operation,
TSGC has impacted over one million people with fifty-eight projects
that span the education continuum from kindergarten through faculty
development. Overall, we have been successful in implementing a balanced
program across the state. We have also been extremely successful
in leveraging its relatively small program funding to a level of
$17M, a ratio of almost eight to one. Two of our programs, LiftOff
Summer Institute for Middle and Secondary School Teachers and NASA
Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program, have been successful
in extending their influence beyond the Texas borders by attracting
participants from across the nation. We have been fortunate to attract
the attention of many talented and dedicated people to participate
in our programs. It is this group of people who are responsible for
the ongoing success of the Texas Space Grant Consortium.
