The teacher workshop began with a viewing of the launch of STS-118 via NASA TV. Following the launch, an overview of the mission and related education events and challenges were presented.
At this time, information about the Plant Growth Challenge and how to order space-flown basil seeds was given. Both remote sites participated in an activity related to the Physical Fitness challenge in real time.
