Nasa science education programs




















These one-year fellowships are renewable in one-year increments, for up to three years. Learn more about applying for an NPP Fellowship. For high school and college students interested in pursuing internship and research fellowships, check out the opportunities at NASA on OSSI, our one-stop shopping initiative. Next-gen tools for the next generation of scientists.

Each year 10 Bay Area juniors and seniors have the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge omics research using open science data on GeneLab. Over the course of three weeks, NASA scientists mentor high school students as they come up with a hypothesis, analyze GeneLab databases, and research the results. Students gain invaluable experience performing real science while collecting and analyzing complex biological data such as genetic codes, using methods including computational biology and bioinformatics.

After earning their bachelors degree, and prior to enrolling in a Masters program, students have the opportunity to perform guided research with NASA scientists, acquire real-world lab experience, contribute to published research, and earn publication citations. Celebrate the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope in your community! Find a Webb Community Event near you in-person or virtual to discover what this marvel of engineering, science and human ingenuity will uncover about the first galaxies, the solar system, and distant worlds.

Let NASA bring the universe to your home! Science Activation reaches learners in all 50 states and more than countries around the world. In , we reached an estimated 22 million learners in the US. State by state totals and specific touchpoints are captured in this interactive map for and Join aerospace education specialist Sandy Kaszynski as she shares a series of online resources that use NASA data and imagery to monitor cloud cover, observe global weather patterns and examine information related to climate change.

Participants will look at lessons, activities and simulations related to weather and climate. Aerospace education specialist Beth White will provide an overview of the Messenger mission along with lessons and activities connected to the mission. Participants will explore images of the surface of Mercury and discuss the latest discoveries.

Join aerospace education specialist Susan Kohler as she provides teachers with additional details outlining the final steps of the engineering design process: build, test, evaluate, redesign and share solution. Participants will also model experimental facilitation and the questioning process.

Zero Robotics High School Tournament Grades High school teams are challenged to design a software program for small satellites aboard the space station. This innovative system allows students to search and apply for all types of higher-education opportunities. A single application places the student in the applicant pool for consideration by all NASA mentors. Applications for spring opportunities are due Oct. To win, a team must demonstrate a stored-energy system that can power a simulated solar-powered exploration vehicle that can operate through multiple cycles of daylight and extended periods of darkness.

Registration closes on Oct. NPP Fellows complete one- to three-year fellowship appointments that offer scientists and engineers unique opportunities to conduct research in fields of science relevant to NASA.

Applicants must have completed a Ph. Applications are due Nov. This conference is for all K educators. The activities presented can be used for science, language arts, mathematics, history and more. Attend sessions hosted by scientists, engineers and astronauts leading the charge in exploration. Receive ready-to-implement classroom ideas and experience minds-on, hands-on fun. Attendees can earn up to 24 hours of continuing professional education credit.

These webinars feature experts from various federal programs. The webinars are free, and events are scheduled throughout the school year. Your mission is to visit all 14 visitor centers and space shuttle locations.

Membership in the free program includes an official 8-page Passport to Explore Space that you can get stamped at each site. Members receive discounts on admission, tours, food and retail at participating locations in addition to stamped certification of visits and a newsletter. This new approach to individualized professional development allows participants to select, prioritize and complete training opportunities that allow them to make use of specific resources, teaching strategies and content.

This free project helps participants meet personal learning goals, and increase student learning and motivation. Using a brand-new type of 3D content, a new interactive game-based activity allows visitors to join in the excitement of the Mars Curiosity Rover.

During your event, the DLN will give an overview of the Mars Curiosity Activity and provide additional information regarding digital badges for lifelong learning. Preference will be given to rural sites, sites more than miles from a digital planetarium and sites serving minority groups.

Museums across the United States are now eligible to receive these pieces of space history, in addition to the schools and universities that have received them since the end of the Space Shuttle Program. Requests for these artifacts are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The artifacts are free, but museums and schools are responsible for paying shipping and handling fees. Mars Student Imaging Project Grades The Mars Student Imaging Project is seeking educator applicants to participate in a virtual experiential opportunity for the school year and the summer of Students will have the opportunity to ask a research question about Mars, use real Mars data to answer the question, interact with Mars scientists and target a brand new image of Mars using a special camera on the Mars Odyssey Spacecraft.

Applications are being accepted now. Students will witness the inner workings of the International Space Station's mission control. During your event, the DLN host will provide additional information regarding the marvel of the space station! A Teacher's Resource Guide with activities is provided. This collection of high-resolution images showcases the excitement of planetary exploration. The images are freely available to organizations worldwide to host their own exhibitions.
