“NASA STEM Stars” en Español is part of a webchat series that connects students with subject matter experts to learn about STEM careers and ask questions about STEM topics. Join optical engineer Dr. Margaret Dominguez from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to learn about her STEM journey. Find out how her work as an optical engineer with the James Webb Space Telescope will help scientists see the universe in a new light. Watch the live event, presented in Spanish, and ask your questions about pursuing careers in STEM. | | | | Audience: Student Teams From U.S. Colleges and Universities, High Schools and Middle Schools Proposal Deadline: Sept. 20
Student Launch challenges teams to design, build and fly a high-powered rocket containing a science or engineering payload. Teams complete a series of design reviews that mirror the NASA engineering design life cycle. A design only competition is also available for teams to participate in a virtual environment. | | | | Notice of Intent Due Sept. 24 | | Letter of Intent Due Sept. 30 | | Audience: 9-12 and Higher Education Educators and Students U.S. Team Registration Deadline: Oct. 7 Student teams competing in the Human Exploration Rover Challenge are tasked with designing, building and testing human-powered rovers and technologies capable of traversing exoplanetary-like landscapes. Teams will earn points by completing design reviews, along with successfully completing course obstacles while performing mission tasks on their rover. The challenge mirrors the goals of NASA’s Artemis missions, and will be held April 28-30, 2022, in Huntsville, Alabama. | | Notice of Intent Due Oct. 22 | | | | Audience: All Educators, Students, Parents and Caregivers
