ASHLAND, NEB. (August 14, 2012) - The Strategic Air & Space Museum inspired over 3,000 elementary and high school students in a total of 12 week-long camps this summer. The subjects ranged from creating, building and programming robots to squishy, slimy, smelly science activities to high altitude ballooning launches that take student payloads into space.
The overall focus was learning that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics can be fascinating.
Although students were primarily from the Omaha and Lincoln area, there were participants from a number of other states including: Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming. Bruxelles, Belgium took the award for traveling the farthest to attend camp at the Strategic Air & Space Museum.
This past year, the museum has provided educational programs to 13,000 students and teachers from 53 Nebraska counties.
The Strategic Air & Space Museum offers a variety of upcoming education opportunities for 2012-2013 including overnights.

Non-Profits...Half Off Advertising! (or more!)
Houck Transit Advertising, would like to introduce a new program called The Strong Communities Project. We recognize that local non-profit organizations are an important aspect of everyday life for many people yet they usually lack the funds and advertising outlets to promote these important programs.
Our goal in developing The Strong Communities Project is to enhance the partnership between local non-profit organizations and public transit. Interior bus advertising is an outstanding way for non-profit organizations to create program awareness for its employees, volunteers, donors and patrons that utilize public transit every day.
In turn, the advertising revenue generated from these interior signs is a way for Omaha Metro to offset their high operating costs.
Lastly, we realize that one of the challenges non-profits face is budget constraints, especially when it comes to getting their message out, that is why we are offering this program to qualified non-profit organizations for at least 50% off of our normal rate.
Please give us a call or email us today! Adam Myszewski Houck Transit Advertising 800-777-7290 www.houckads.com
