More Historical Milestones of the Can Do Project
NASA
Space Experiment Module - STS-80 (1996)
- Can Do designed the first SEM modules in response to
an invitation to help pioneer a major new NASA educational
initiative. The two modules contained four active experiments to
gather data in flight and 230 BEST (Big
Experiment in Small
Tubes) experiments.

GeoNet
Project
( Kodak Education
Technology Grant )
1996-1997
- The
goal of Project GeoNet is to create a digital collection of
all images generated by the Can Do project, distribute them
for classroom use through the Internet, Photo CD, and digital prints
and to develop imaging curriculum for K-12 students.
NASA
Space Experiment Module - STS-85 (1997)
- Can Do has begun the design of second generation SEM modules
in an ongoing partnership with NASA for the development of this new
educational concept. Students can participate as part of a active
experiment research team or design their very own BEST
experiment.
Each of these adventures involved school district teachers and students as direct participants in leading edge science and technology. The resulting professional development, student motivation, and classroom materials have enhanced the quality of the classroom experience in science learning at all grade levels.
