ABSTRACT:
During the week of July 23, 2001, a workshop called Japan 2001 Science, Creativity and the Young Mind took place at Bristol University in Bristol, England. Coordinated under the direction of Dr. Eric Albone, Clifton Scientific Trust, it brought together 60 British and Japanese students and provided them with a forum for learning and interacting. We at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Cleveland, Ohio, had the good fortune to participate with six of those students and their team leaders in a Space Science Workshop. The Space Science Team was led by two Bristol University people from the Earth Sciences Department-Carsten Riedel and Stuart Stansfield-under the direction of Professor Steve Sparks, FRS. The Team was assisted by Lawrence Williams, Director of Studies, Holy Cross School, UK. Funding was provided by the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, and Japan 2001. Tis report is a compilation of correspondence via e-mail that took place before, during, and immediately after the workshop. A final report from the students on their findings is now in production and will be made available from Clifton Scientific Trust.
