Partnering with NASA STEM Engagement

NASA STEM Engagement prioritizes partnerships that, to the extent possible, engage U.S. students and teachers in partnership activities at no cost and that make partnership materials publicly and freely accessible across a variety of platforms. All categories of domestic entities, including U.S. Federal government agencies, are eligible to submit a Statement of Interest. A limited number of opportunities to partner with NASA STEM Engagement exist for international entities with nationwide U.S. domestic audiences. NASA OSTEM further prioritizes partnership activities that increase diversity, broaden participation, and include opportunities for students from groups traditionally underrepresented and underserved to participate in STEM (i.e., women, persons with disabilities, and Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders). OSTEM partnerships serve students from the pre-K through undergraduate levels in formal classrooms, out of school time settings, and on digital platforms.

The intent of this opportunity is to support external entities that advance national STEM education needs by sharing NASA’s mission with their audiences. This includes engaging audiences in technical mission content and STEM education resources, raising awareness of STEM career pathways, and highlighting NASA’s diverse technical workforce. NASA generally provides unfunded collaborators with access to NASA mission data and imagery, subject matter expertise in scientific and technical disciplines connected to NASA mission for consultation, content review and to share career pathways, and subject matter expertise in NASA STEM education and related disciplines.
