NASA EXPRESS -- Your STEM Connection for July 28, 2022
Check out the latest NASA opportunities for educators, students and families.
Are you looking for a summer opportunity to connect your middle school students with a NASA scientist or engineer? Apply for one of the upcoming Virtual Classroom Connections in NASA CONNECTS today.
Join NASA for five weeks of virtual summer camp fun as we celebrate 50 years of Earth observations from Landsat satellites. Explore a new theme each week about how Landsat has helped us better understand our home planet. Your virtual camp counselors have curated an exciting collection of videos, interactives, and downloadable games and activities that you can do at home with friends of all ages. Landsat is a joint program of NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey.
Join the NASA Ames Office of the Chief Scientist for the 2022 summer series of webinars. Events are designed for curious learners in high school and up.
The James Webb Space Telescope is the most complex and powerful astronomical space observatory ever built.
Astrophysicist Dr. Thomas Greene will discuss how this amazing telescope will help us better understand the universe and how scientists will use it to make discoveries that we haven’t even imagined yet.
As astronauts travel farther from Earth, they’ll have to adapt to longer communications delays and limited bandwidth. Research scientist Dr. Jessica Marquez will discuss ways NASA is helping to promote and support astronaut autonomy – the crew’s ability to work more independently from mission control. From analog missions on Earth to long-duration flights on the space station, systems being developed today will help pave the way for future autonomous astronauts.
Join the NASA STEM Engagement & Educator Professional Development Collaborative at Texas State University for educator professional development webinars. Attendees earn a certificate that can be submitted for
The NASA Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Innovation and Technology Transfer Idea Competition (MITTIC) is a spinoff challenge to develop new ideas for commercialization.
Teams choose anyNASA Intellectual Propertyas the basis of their spinoff concept and submit proposals using NASA MITTIC challenge guidelines. Top teams will be invited to pitch their ideas during a three-day on-site experience at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. One team will be selected to receive additional funding and a trip to present its idea at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California.
NASA and the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR) are challenging teams of students in grades 8-12 to design and build simple devices that will float in water in normal gravity but will submerge in water as far as possible when exposed to microgravity.
After students' proposals for Diving into Experimental Research (DIVER) are evaluated, objects from selected teams will be tested in the 2.2 Second Drop Tower at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Ohio. The winning DIVER teams will have the opportunity to present their results in a student poster session at ASGSR’s 2023 conference.
Proposals are due Nov. 13. Click here for competition details and eligibility requirements.
