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
For more information, email Emily Matula
With a focus on research about sustainability, Student Payload Opportunity with Citizen Science (SPOCS) is seeking help from NASA civil servant or contractors.
Items to get involved with include:
- Subject matter expert to present a webinar on sustainability research (Sustainability webinar is set for Feb. 26 from 5-6 pm)
- Technical reviewers to score proposals for merit of experiment (expected commitment is about 5 hours in the month of April)
- Mentors for selected student teams (expected commitment is 2-5 hours a month from June 2020 – Feb. 2021)
Please find attached a flyer for the help being requested.
To help in any of the these roles, reach out to Scott Black, Education Coordinator here.
Let us continue to provide invaluable support to the youth and the future of STEM!
