Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Explorations received a $22.1 million cooperative agreement from NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) under the Exploration Connection program, with a completion date of December 31, 2025. The award supports development of an internet-based platform that vertically integrates K-12 classrooms with NASA SMD subject matter experts, university mentors, and trainers to enhance scientific literacy and STEM education nationwide. The program will deliver authentic STEM experiences for pre-college and college students, professional development for pre-service and in-service teachers, and face-to-face and virtual educational offerings, with particular emphasis on reaching historically underrepresented populations. The platform will incorporate planetary datasets from NASA missions and include templates for integrating future mission data into educational experiences. The cooperative agreement does not include a small business set-aside designation and leverages national partnerships to maximize program scope and impact. Key deliverables include rigorous program evaluation mechanisms, professional development for both teachers and informal educators, and structured opportunities for NASA SMD specialists to interact directly with students and teachers across multiple educational levels. ASU's broader educational and scientific expertise, combined with its established federal research infrastructure and partnerships with leading organizations, positions the university to execute this multi-year initiative addressing national COSTEM (Cybersecurity, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) goals while developing scalable models that can be replicated and expanded across the nation's educational institutions.
