The NASA Explorer School program is a three-year partnership, sponsored by NASA, to help educators and students join NASA's mission of discovery through educational activities and special learning opportunities tailored to promote science, mathematics and technology applications and career explorations.
During the partnership, students in the NASA Explorer School Program participate in digital conferences with scientists and engineers at NASA. Educators also take hands-on activities to their students to provide exciting learning experiences in the science, mathematics and technology fields.
