Virtual Learning Opportunities GLOBE Mission Mosquito Webinar: Building Community Audience: Formal and informal educators, parents, and caregivers Webinar Date: Thursday, Jan. 19 at 2 p.m. EST Join the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) program for a webinar focused on NASA’s citizen science initiative. NASA citizen science strategist Sarah Kirn will share a broad overview of this initiative, including what it involves, why it’s important, and the role that citizen scientists around the world can play. Lecture Webcast – How Do Missions Get Formed? Audience: All educators; students in grades 9-12 and higher education Event Date: Thursday, Jan. 19 at 10 p.m. EST   Robotics engineer Paulo Younse will discuss project formulation and demonstration. Find out how mission ideas go from napkin sketches to prototypes to development and testing. Younse will share real-life experiences and stories about the Mars rovers and Mars Sample Return Mission to explain how engineers figure out the right questions to ask to understand what technologies are needed to get the job done. NASA MUREP Capability Statement Training Audience: Faculty and staff at HBCUs and MSIs Next Event Date: Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 12:30 p.m. EST Contact: sharon.g.fitzgerald@nasa.gov   NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) team is hosting training opportunities to assist Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in learning about capability statements and their pertinence to NASA. Participants will gain an understanding of the components of a successful capability statement and how to use them to leverage their institutions' technologies and programs to better compete for funding opportunities.  More Opportunities to Get Involved 2023 NASA STEM Enhancement in Earth Science (SEES) Internship Audience: Current high school sophomores and juniors who are U.S. citizens Application Deadline: Feb. 20 Contact: baguio@csr.utexas.edu   NASA and The University of Texas at Austin Center for Space Research have joined forces to encourage high school students’ interest in STEM careers. The SEES project offers distance learning modules and guided remote work prior to onsite internships at the University of Texas in Austin from July 8-22, 2023. Participants conduct authentic research while working with scientists and engineers in their chosen areas. Housing, meals, and activities will be provided. NASA MUREP Innovation and Technology Transfer Idea Competition Audience: Multidisciplinary student teams enrolled at Minority Serving Institutions Spring 2023 Submission Deadline: March 15 Contact: HQ-MITTIC@mail.nasa.gov   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 any NASA Intellectual Property as the basis of their spinoff concept and submit proposals using MITTIC challenge guidelines. Top teams will receive up to $5,000 and will be invited to pitch their ideas during a three-day immersion experience at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. One team will be selected as the winning team and receive an additional $10,000, plus an immersion experience to present its idea at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California.
