The original Teachers in Space program led by Ed Wright became Citizens in Space, which has reserved 10 flights aboard the XCOR Lynx suborbital spaceplane for teachers as well as other citizen space explorers

Meanwhile, the Space Frontier Foundation continued its own Teachers in Space project and they currently have a crowd-funding campaign to send student experiments to the International Space Station: Fly Student Experiment Mission to ISS 2014 | RocketHub

Our 2014 launch cost will be $25,000 and We Need Your Help!  Our 2010 NASA Educational Outreach Grant expires the end of August 2013.  We’re running a RocketHub crowdfunding campaign just this month of August 2013 to support next year’s launch, and asking everyone we know to please contribute whatever you can.  Even $5 from everyone who sees this mail will easily get us there, especially if you then forward this mail to everyone you know!  We have some great incentives for you, from mission patches to SpaceX tshirts to signed books about the New Space Frontier.  You can even have a Skype Session or a personal visit from one of our Teachers in Space!

250 teachers have attended our workshops and taken glider lessons, launched tracked and recovered high altitude balloons, learned Arduino programming, built and worked with data sensors, and worked with their students to design experiments for our International Space Station experiment launch competition.  We’ve received ongoing support for the workshops from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and other partners, but we dearly need YOUR support to cover the cost of our 2014 ISS launch.  Please will you help and get others to do the same?
