- This is a $420,226 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nurture Nature Center (NNC), a non-profit organization in Easton, Pennsylvania. The grant supports NASA's education mission to advance high-quality STEM education using NASA's unique capabilities, datasets, experts, and analysis tools. The project, titled "6 Degrees of Influence: Understanding the Interconnectedness of Earth Systems," focuses on developing Earth science curricula and...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $749,582.00 grant to the Arizona Science Center, in collaboration with Arizona State University, Museum of Science, Science Museum of Minnesota, and the National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE Net), for a three-year project titled "Moon and Beyond: An Immersive Game for STEM Learning in Museums and Planetariums." The project aims to engage public audiences, particularly families with children in grades 4-8...
- NASA awarded a $15.8M Cooperative Agreement to the University of Toledo on January 4, 2016, for the Mission Earth project, which systematically integrates NASA assets and the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program into K-12 school curricula across the United States. The initiative targets high-need school districts in the Northeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest regions to address documented gaps in STEM workforce development and public scientific...
- NASA awarded a $4.88 million Cooperative Agreement to the University of Texas at Austin on January 4, 2016, to implement the STEM Enhancement in Earth Science (SEES) program through the NASA Texas Space Grant Consortium. The award supports NASA's Science Mission Directorate education goals by developing a two-tiered approach targeting high school students and educators in Earth science. Under this solicitation (NNH15ZDA004C), UT Austin will leverage NASA facilities and assets to provide high...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $300,000.00 grant to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to create internet-accessible self-study and teaching resources for mission analysis within gravitational multi-body environments, such as cislunar space. This effort aims to close the gap between classical orbital mechanics taught in undergraduate courses and the more complex dynamics required for missions to the Moon, particularly in support of the Artemis...
- NASA awarded a $13.2 million grant to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA) on January 4, 2016, for the NASA ECLIPS 4D program, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026. ECLIPS 4D (Design, Develop, Disseminate, Discover) expands upon NASA's successful seven-year educational initiative by developing multi-dimensional strategies to promote understanding of NASA science across K-12 classrooms and informal learning audiences. The contract encompasses development of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $200,457.98 training grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university, to develop multistable origami structures and smart metamaterials for morphing space structures. The objective is to create surfaces that can transition between various stable origami configurations, integrating structural, sensing, and actuation capabilities. This research aims to enable autonomously deployable and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $11,562,621.67 grant to the WGBH Educational Foundation, a non-profit public media organization, to develop and disseminate media-rich digital educational products and services aligned with national standards and curriculum needs. The goal is to create content featuring NASA missions and research across science disciplines for K-12 students and teachers. WGBH will integrate existing NASA-produced media resources into...
- NASA awarded a $4.9 million grant to Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency (Wayne RESA) on January 4, 2016, for the Aerokats and Rover Education Network (AREN) program, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. The project leverages NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's internally developed technology to train the next generation of scientists, engineers, and professionals in Earth observation and environmental research. AREN combines two key educational tools: Aerokats (kite-based...
- The University of Colorado was awarded a $849,332 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Office of STEM Engagement's National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program to support the Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone (GLEE) project. GLEE will contribute to NASA's Artemis mission to put humans on the Moon by 2024 through a scalable program that engages students in a hands-on learning experience using a standalone platform of technologies called LUNASAT. This...
NASA-THREADS: THE CURRICULUM UTILIZES HANDS-ON PROJECTS TO WEAVE TOGETHER NASA APPLICATIONS, FUNDAMENTALS, TECHNOLOGY, AND COMMUNICATION. NASA APPLICATIONS PROVIDE A CONTEXT FOR INTRODUCING FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS TOPICS, TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED PROJECTS BRING CONTENT TO LIFE, AND COMMUNICATION ENSURES THAT STUDENTS GAIN CONFIDENCE IN SHARING EXCITING TECHNICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITH THEIR PEERS. FOR EXAMPLE A CARDBOARD LUNAR BRIDGE CONSTRUCTED TO SUPPORT A LUNAR ROVER, WHOSE NAVIGATION IS PROGRAMMED BY STUDENTS, SHOWCASES THE APPLICATION FOR THE FUNDAMENTAL TOPICS OF FORCE, GRAVITY, AND NEWTON S LAWS. THIS HELPS STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT, THE VAST MAJORITY OF REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS REQUIRE THE ASSIMILATION OF INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES AND REQUIRE INTEGRATIVE, SYSTEM LEVEL THINKING BASED ON FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES FROM A VARIETY OF DISCIPLINES.
