NASA Engages Young Minds Globally with Exciting STEM Opportunities
NASA offers a wealth of experiences and opportunities designed to inspire young explorers worldwide in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The agency’s Office of STEM Engagement collaborates with experts across NASA, the U.S. government, and various international partners to ignite the curiosity of students, particularly those of the Artemis Generation.
Through strategic partnerships, NASA is reaching new audiences and making STEM learning resources and opportunities accessible globally. Here are some of the ways NASA and its partners are bringing STEM education to life:
Collaboration with Minecraft
NASA has partnered with Minecraft to bring its missions to life. This collaboration allows young learners to explore and engage with NASA missions through the popular game, making STEM concepts more exciting and accessible.
Partnership with Crayola
NASA and Crayola have joined forces to encourage participation in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM). Through a series of virtual engagements, such as the annual Crayola Creativity Week, students and families are invited to delve into STEAM content.
Educational Resources with LEGO Education
NASA has collaborated with LEGO Education to develop educational resources that introduce STEAM concepts and careers to students, teachers, and families. This partnership aims to foster a deeper understanding of these fields through engaging, hands-on learning experiences.
Curriculum Support with Discovery Education
NASA and Discovery Education have teamed up to provide curriculum support resources, videos, and events through an online platform. This collaboration ensures that educators and students worldwide have access to high-quality STEM educational materials.
Agreement with Arizona State University’s Milo Space Science Institute
NASA recently signed an agreement with Arizona State University’s Milo Space Science Institute to create new opportunities for students in STEM workforce development. The 12-week academies use NASA data sets, information from subject matter experts, and details about NASA missions and careers to provide a comprehensive learning experience.
Computer Science and Coding with Code.org
In partnership with Code.org, NASA has developed computer science and coding resources for teachers and students. These resources aim to build essential skills in these critical areas, preparing students for future careers in technology and engineering.
Free Online Resources with LabXchange
NASA has collaborated with LabXchange to create free online resources for teachers and students on topics such as solar eclipses, Mars, astrobiology, and Artemis missions. With over 700 resources available, this partnership makes STEM content easily accessible to a global audience.
International educators and students can find even more ways to engage with NASA’s missions and content through various online resources. Here are some highlights:
NASA Kids Club
For the youngest explorers, NASA Kids Club offers STEM-based games designed for students ages 3-9. These interactive games provide a fun and educational way for children to learn about science and space.
Artemis Camp Experience
The Artemis Camp Experience features hands-on activities aimed at introducing K-12 students to the systems that will enable NASA astronauts to return to the Moon with the Artemis missions. This camp provides a unique opportunity for students to engage with real-world space exploration concepts.
“First Woman” Graphic Novel Series
NASA’s “First Woman” graphic novel series tells the fictional story of Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the Moon. Created for students in grades 5-12, the series includes graphic novels in both English and Spanish, along with accompanying videos, activities, and more.
Internship Opportunities
NASA offers internship opportunities that allow students to gain authentic experience while contributing to the agency’s work. These internships provide valuable hands-on learning experiences in various STEM fields.
Student Challenges
NASA hosts several student challenges available internationally, including the Human Exploration Rover Challenge and the Space Apps Challenge. These competitions encourage students to create and test human-powered rovers and solve real-world challenges on Earth and in space.
ASTRO CAMP Community Partners Program
The ASTRO CAMP Community Partners Program shares NASA STEM content and experiences through youth organizations and informal learning institutions such as museums and libraries. The program includes nearly 30 international partner sites.
Citizen Science with GLOBE Observer App
Citizen scientists worldwide can contribute their local observations through the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Observer app. This app is part of the GLOBE program, sponsored by NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation, and Youth Learning as Citizen Environmental Scientists.
Spot the Station
With the Spot the Station mobile app and website, users can know when the International Space Station will pass overhead. This tool allows anyone to observe the space station from their location.
Surprisingly STEM Video Series
NASA is more than astronauts and rocket scientists. The Surprisingly STEM video series highlights unexpected careers within the agency, accompanied by linked hands-on activities. This series aims to show the diverse opportunities available in STEM fields.
Learning Resources
STEM resources for educators and students can be found anytime on NASA’s Learning Resources website. This site provides a comprehensive collection of educational materials and activities designed to support STEM learning.
NASA+
NASA offers video on demand through NASA+, featuring unique STEM programming, live coverage of NASA missions, and more. This platform provides an engaging way for users to stay informed about NASA’s latest activities and discoveries.
NASA STEM’s e-newsletters deliver the latest updates to email inboxes around the world. The NASA EXPRESS weekly e-newsletter offers the latest NASA STEM content and opportunities, while the monthly Earthrise e-newsletter provides themed resources to elevate Earth and climate science in the classroom.
