ACCOMODATIONS:
The primary accomodation are rooms located on site (inside the NASA center).
They are $12 per night (no breakfast provided) and you will be sharing a bathroom.
There are only 32 rooms available and the rooms will be assigned on a first come-first served basis.

PLEASE NOTE: Foreign nationals will not be allowed to stay at the dorms located inside the NASA center. Moreover, in the event of a war with Iraq, it is possible that foreign nationals will be denied access to the site. Please understand that we have no way of guaranteeing that this will not happen but that unless the war breaks out during the school, we will know beforehand if this will be the case or not. We are also looking at a back-up conference center nearby.
