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 instrumentation systems for airborne remote sensing) and Rovers (remotely operated watercraft for in-water measurements), both designed specifically for experiential learning using real-world Earth science applications. The initiative builds on the success of earlier NASA-funded programs including the Investigating Climate Change and Remote Sensing (ICCARS) project and expands these proven hands-on learning methodologies to a broader audience. As a cooperative effort led by Wayne RESA, a U.S. GLOBE partner and training center based in Wayne, Michigan, AREN engages partner institutions across a broad demographic and geographic reach to implement these educational tools in formal classroom settings. The program draws on over a decade of NASA expertise in developing innovative technology-based science learning platforms, including prior educational initiatives such as the Remote Sensing Earth Science Teacher Program (RSESTEP), the Airborne Science Training Initiative (ASTI), and the Remotely Operated Vehicle for Education and Research program. No set-aside designation applies to this award, which is funded through NASA's civilian budget.
