The Dream Tour

In its third year, The Dream Tour presented by ExxonMobil, features Dr. Bernard Harris, the first African American to walk in space.  The Tour encourages middle school students to reach their potential by acquiring strong math and science skills. It also provides improved tools for teachers to deliver more engaging classroom activities. 

In just two years, the Dream Tour has impacted the lives of over 34,700 students. In 2010 the Dream Tour has visited Anchorage, Billings, Denver, San Diego and Phoenix and will visit San Francisco, Philadelphia, Nashville, Baton Rouge and Cleveland.

From humble beginnings in San Antonio to making history as the first African American to walk in space, Dr. Harris is a living example of achieving high aspirations.  His story provides a powerful backdrop to deliver his message to students across America.

“America’s students have incredible opportunities in careers that haven’t even been created yet.  The Dream Tour is one way to open their eyes to the limitless possibilities they have in their hands as long as math and science education is part of the equation,” said Dr. Harris.
