Texas Aerospace Scholars

Texas Aerospace Scholars (formerly High School Aerospace Scholars/HAS) is an authentic STEM learning experience for Texas high school juniors to engage with NASA’s missions and become the next generation of explorers. TAS is a year-long commitment for Texas high school juniors which starts in the fall with a five-month online learning experience related to space exploration, Earth science, technology, and aeronautics. Through this program, students will gain valuable skills in coding, computer-aided design (CAD), and engineering, which are essential for preparing them for a potential future in the aerospace workforce. The highest achieving students will receive an invitation to a five-day virtual summer experience (Moonshot) mentored by NASA scientists and engineers. The top performing teams from Moonshot will be invited to an all expense paid residential experience to NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
