Empower, Excite, and Engage!

9/26/23 – 12/5/23

Be the engineering guide for a group of students as they launch a mission to grow plants on Mars!

Through weekly meetups, students create a dynamic Project Proposal, which includes
designing, planning, and collaboration with aerospace subject matter experts and other students. By
the end of the term, students will be exposed to the basics of project management, considerations for
the spaceflight environment, and basics of habitat design.

As a mentor, you are the engineering guide for an assigned student group. Through weekly tag-ups, you
answer questions and guide the design thought process of students as they form the greenhouse.

No previous plant experience needed, only enthusiasm for getting students involved in STEM! Please sign up if you’re interested in this low time-commitment/high impact mentoring opportunity by Tuesday 9/12 at this link

Info

  • NASA’s High School Aerospace Scholars is an authentic learning experience for Texas high school juniors to
    engage with NASA’s mission
    and become the next generation of explorers. Like-minded students complete an online curriculum in
    exploration and discovery.
  • The highest achieving students receive an invitation to a five-day gamified summer experience mentored by
    NASA scientists and engineers.
    Students work in teams to plan an Artemis-themed mission to the Moon and Mars. Top teams are invited to a
    two-day residential experience
    at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX.
  • The online and summer experience portions are free to
    participants.

ASTROCAMP: Free Summer Camp!

June 7-18, 2021

Are you interested in trajectory design in cislunar space?

Learn how trajectory design works in the Earth-Moon system and multi-body gravity fields at ASTROCAMP, an asynchronous series of free, online modules designed for participants who have taken an undergraduate orbital mechanics class but have little or no experience with gravitational multi-body dynamics.

ASTROCAMP will run June 7-18, 2021
register here (for free!)
A series of virtual live events to bring together the ASTROCAMP community!
