  OVERVIEW
 
 Recognizing that hands-on experience is one of the most effective learning tools, the Education Flight Projects Office was established to inspire and motivate students to pursue studies and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, through participation in NASA research applications. These opportunities are available to students nationwide and are implemented through NASA flight platforms, such as:

-- The International Space Station.
-- Space Shuttle.
-- Expendable Launch Vehicles
-- Sounding Rockets.
-- Amateur Rockets.
-- Scientific Balloons.
-- Scientific Aircraft.

Education flight projects are targeted to elementary, secondary, and higher education teachers, faculty, and students in the nation's schools, as well as informal education organizations and institutions. Projects are integrated into a seamless pipeline to encourage sustained student interaction with NASA that results in expanding the pool of human capital to meet the needs of NASA and its partners.
