HAL5 Educational Activities as a Model for Chapter Outreach Efforts

David Hewitt
Huntsvile Alabama L5 Society, Huntsville, Alabama

Abstract

Throughout the entire history of the Huntsville Alabama L5 Society, special emphasis has been placed on the membership to creatively reach out to the community to extend the hand of space education. This rich history, from the Project HALO outreach efforts of the 1990s to the diverse efforts of today, HAL5 has remained one of the most active of the NSS chapters in this area. Today, HAL5 participates in hands --- on education with the latest incarnation of Project HALO, suitcase rocket demonstrations and tables at community events in addition to the regular monthly lectures at the public library. Even though Huntsville is a unique environment that encourages this kind of activity, any chapter of the NSS can use this example to reach out and tailor to their own respective communities.
