We Engage Students In NASA’s Mission
K-12 students can dig deeper into STEM topics and experience the thrill of exploration and discovery.
NASA makes vital investments in a diverse portfolio of learning opportunities and activities designed to reach as many U.S. students as possible – from kindergarten through graduate school. NASA seeks to build the next generation STEM workforce and broaden student participation to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM fields.
For Kids and Students
We Inspire An Interest In STEM
NASA offers a wide array of unique experiences designed to engage K-12 students nationwide in the agency’s missions, people, and resources.
Educators are a significant part of students’ lives and play a key role in connecting NASA to the Artemis Generation. NASA STEM fully supports formal educators in classrooms and informal educators in museums, science centers, afterschool programs, and similar organizations, all of whom bring the excitement of the agency’s missions to students.
For Educators
Colleges, Universities, Technical and Vocational Institutions
NASA leverages its unique missions and programs to enhance and increase the capability, diversity, and size of the nation’s future STEM workforce.
NASA has a portfolio of activities and opportunities dedicated to attracting, engaging and educating students in all institutional categories and levels across the nation. These range from internships and fellowships, research and development opportunities, challenges and competitions, pre-college and college STEM experiences, virtual learning, faculty support, as well as institutional support.
For Colleges and Universities
In-Flight Education Downlinks
In-flight education downlinks allow students and educators to interact with astronauts onboard the International Space Station. These opportunities are available to both formal and informal U.S.-based education organizations. The proposal period for In-Flight Education Downlinks Expedition 73 is open. Three virtual question-and-answer sessions will be offered throughout the proposal period. Submission Deadline: Oct. 29, 2024.
