The Aerospace Education Foundation with USA TODAY Newspaper and local Air Force Association Chapters have teamed together to encourage the skills necessary for success in math, science and technology among the nation's elementary and middle school children.

Visions provides each classroom selected with a Visions of Exploration Guide, containing lesson plans for 18 weeks of the best math, science and technology articles previously published in the USA TODAY newspaper.

Each classroom selected will also receive 30 copies of USA TODAY newspapers one day a week for 18 weeks, along with Experience TODAY, a daily lesson plan with cross curricular activities centered around each day's news.

During the 2004-2005 school year, Visions was in 1,293 classrooms ... 4^th through 8^th grade ... reaching over 250,000 students.

Registrations are now being accepted.

There is only one registration period per school year and now is the time to register. Registrations are due no later than September 30, 2005, and payment is due by October 31, 2005.

The cost for the 2005-2006 school year is $84 per classroom for AFA chapters. If your chapter did not participate in the 2003-2004 school year, AEF will pay 60% of the cost for the first 5 classrooms you sponsor; which brings the cost per classroom down to $68 each. In order to take advantage of this special rate, a minimum of 5 classrooms is required.
