The NASA Central Operation of Resources for Educators
(CORE), established in cooperation with Lorain County Joint Vocational
School, serves as the worldwide distribution center for NASA-produced
multimedia materials. For a minimal charge, CORE will provide a
valuable service to educators unable to visit one of the NASA Educator
Resource Centers by making NASA educational materials available
through its mail order service.
