This series highlights a few of the women who have had a crucial impact on STEM fields. Laurie A. Grindle is deputy center director at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. In 1997, she worked on the X-43A project in the lead up to the experimental aircraft’s first flight. Laurie and her team learned much from their initial failures before the X-43A set the Guinness World Record for "the fastest air-breathing" aircraft in March 2004. It then broke its own record in November 2004 with its third and final flight. Join us to hear her story and participate in a live Q&A session. | | | Webinar: Website Accessibility Insights – A Student’s Perspective Audience: College students, formal and informal educators, and learners interested in web accessibility Event Date: Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 2 p.m. EDT Contact: tahira.s.allen@nasa.gov Join the NASA Science Activation Program’s Diversability Action Group for a presentation by Jade Steele, a Sonoma State student volunteer with a certification in website accessibility. This session is designed to provide valuable takeaways for anyone interested in web accessibility. Jade’s presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a student’s perspective on the importance of accessibility in web design. | | | Celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month With NASA Internships Audience: High school and college students Event Date: Thursday, Oct. 24, at 4 p.m. EDT Contact: michelle.l.bogden@nasa.gov Join NASA internship specialists for a virtual event featuring Kiyun Kim, a software engineer, former NASA intern, and accessibility advocate. Learn about NASA’s initiatives aimed at raising awareness and providing resources for individuals with disabilities. The session will also provide insights into the NASA internships program, share firsthand experiences from NASA interns, and allow participants to ask questions during a Q&A session. | | Higher Education Opportunities | | | NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) – Mission 1: Discover Audience: Community college students who are U.S. citizens Next Information Session: Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 6 p.m. EDT Office Hours: Wednesdays at 5 p.m. ET Application Deadline: Monday, Nov. 25 Contact: JSC-NCAS@mail.nasa.gov NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) supports community college students seeking to transfer to a four-year institution or go directly to the labor force by engaging them in authentic learning experiences. Applications for Mission 1: Discover are open now. Participants will take part in a five-week, self-paced online course introducing scholars to NASA missions and research surrounding space exploration, technology, and aeronautics research. Mission 1: Discover is the first of three missions designed to challenge and build student knowledge and skills by focusing on NASA’s mission goals, team collaboration, and career pathways. | | | First Nations Launch Audience: Students enrolled at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU), Native American-Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTI), and American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) chapter students Notice of Intent Deadlines: Moon and Mars Tracks – Thursday, Oct. 24 Gateway Track – Monday, Dec. 9 Contact: rcannon@carthage.edu The annual First Nations Launch competition offers student teams the opportunity to demonstrate engineering and design skills through direct application in high-powered rocketry. Teams are guided through the engineering process on one of three tracks (Gateway, Moon, and Mars) to design, build, and fly high-powered rockets. Don’t have any engineering, design, or rocketry skills yet? Students from all majors can sign up for the no-experience-necessary Gateway track where they’ll receive all the instruction and support they need to design, build, and fly their first rocket. Teams also give back to their communities by conducting outreach and serving as role models to inspire the next generation of explorers. The competition is managed by Wisconsin Space Grant and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. | | | Call for Peer Reviewers: NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunities (NSTGRO) Audience: Subject matter experts in space technology Deadline: Friday, Nov. 1 Contact: hq-nstgro-call@mail.nasa.gov NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate is seeking subject matter experts to serve as peer reviewers of proposals submitted to the recently released NSTGRO solicitation. Through NSTGRO, NASA seeks to sponsor graduate student research that has significant potential to contribute to NASA’s goal of creating innovative new space technologies. If your skills match NASA’s needs for the review, and considerations for any organizational conflicts of interest allow, we will contact you to discuss further steps. Reviews will be conducted electronically. Participating in a review is a service to the community. Eligible reviewers will receive a nominal honorarium.
