NASA EXPRESS -- Your STEM Connection for Sept. 24, 2026

Check out NASA's latest STEM opportunities and learning resources.

NASA STEM Engagement NASA Student Challenges and Competitions The NASA Office of STEM Engagement’s Student Challenges and Competitions are agency-unique, immersive, academic-year experiences that task student teams with designing and creating innovative solutions for real-world space exploration missions and Earth-based applications. By tackling mission-critical problems or leveraging real NASA intellectual property, students are guided by agency and industry experts toward culminating showcase and testing events. These activities directly advance NASA missions and prepare tomorrow’s aerospace workforce while equipping students with essential technical, entrepreneurial, and career skills. Ready to get started? The opportunities below are open now! NASA Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students (SUITS) Design Challenge Information Sessions: Thursday, Sept. 24, at 5 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Oct. 6, at 5 p.m. EDT Proposal Deadline: Thursday, Oct. 22 Contact: NASA-SUITS@mail.nasa.gov NASA SUITS is preparing tomorrow’s aerospace workforce!    In the NASA SUITS challenge, college/university student teams design and create autonomous systems and displays for spacesuits. These systems will aid NASA astronauts as they expand scientific and commercial activity on the lunar surface to advance the development of the Moon Base.   After developing their software, selected student teams will travel to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to test their prototypes.    Click here for full challenge descriptions and requirements. 2027 Micro-g Neutral Buoyancy Experiment Design Teams (Micro-g NExT) Next Information Session: Tuesday, Sept. 29 Proposal Deadline: Tuesday, Oct. 27 Contact: jsc-reducedgravity@nasa.gov   Micro-g NExT challenges undergraduate students to design, build, and test a tool or device that addresses an authentic, current space exploration challenge.   The 2027 Micro-g NExT challenges focus on lunar operations and building the Moon Base. Selected teams will be paired with a NASA mentor to assist them as they iterate on their submitted design. During the culminating event, professional divers will test the student prototypes in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.   Click here for full challenge descriptions and requirements, along with login info for upcoming information sessions. Student Challenge: NASA ORBIT Registration Deadline: Monday, Nov. 16 Contact: hq-orbit@mail.nasa.gov   NASA’s Opportunities in Research, Business, Innovation, and Technology (ORBIT) challenge is a multi-phase innovation competition designed to empower university and college students to develop next-generation solutions that benefit life on Earth and in space.   Teams can choose from two challenge tracks: ● ORBIT Earth: Transform NASA patents into commercial products that solve problems on our home planet. ● ORBIT Space: Design next-generation technologies for space exploration.   Teams can also choose to bridge both tracks for additional award opportunities with the optional Integration Bonus.   Click here for full challenge descriptions and requirements.
