- Aerospace Education Services Program (AESP)
-
The NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) AESP provides
professional development workshops for teachers in the six state
area of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin.
These activity-based workshops are designed to enhance educators'
understanding and comprehension of aerospace. Each workshop
is correlated with the national science and mathematics standards
Dropping
In a Microgravity Environment (DIME)
-
DIME is a new NASA competition program which
will allow teams to design and build a science experiment which
will then be operated in a NASA microgravity drop tower facility.
This program is a project-oriented activity which will last
one school year. Teams will be comprised of high-school-aged
students, such as a science class, group of classes, science
club, or scout troop. A team must have teacher and/or adult
supervision.
Explorers Program -- Posts 630, 631, 632
-
The Glenn Explorer program collaborates with
the Boy Scouts of America to provide students (ages 14 through
20) with career exploration opportunities focused on aeronautics
and computer science. Activity groups, led by Glenn volunteers
who serve as Exploring advisors, meet one weekday evening a
week from October through April to work on group projects.

-
- The FIRST competition is a national engineering contest htat
immerses high school students in the exciting world of engineering.
In 65 weeks, students and engineers (NASA volunteers) work intesnsely
together to brainstorm, design, construct, and test their "robot
champion" which then competes with other robots.
Learning Technologies Project (LTP)
- LTP captures the educational potential of NASA and GRC programs
and conducts and facilitates educational projects at all levels
of the American educational system.
Lewis' Educational and Research Collaborative
Internship Program (LERCIP)
-
LERCIP provides paid internships for high
school students in the fields of engineering, science, technology,
and professional administration. Each student is assigned
a mentor and is given an 8 week project that is commensurate
with their academic field of study. There are two high school
programs managed by LERCIP: Summer High School Apprenticeship
Research Program (SHARP), and NASA Plus.
Mobile Aeronautics Education Laboratory/Aernautics
Education Laboratories (MAEL/AEL's)
-
MAEL is a mobile, state-of-the-art classroom
that brings aeronautics- based technology to schools and communities.
NASA Student Involvement Program (NSIP)
-
The NASA Student Involvement Program supports
national education standards for science, mathematics, technology,
and geography. By participating, students will
-
Develop "science as inquiry"
skills
-
Work collaboratively as team members
-
Apply computer and Internet skills
-
Learn core concepts of Earth and space
science
-
Integrate science, mathematics, technology,
and geography concepts
-
Learn to communicate more clearly and
effectively.
NSIP is open to all U.S. individuals and teams of children
in grades K-12.
The deadline for entering Space Flight Opportunities is
January 15, 2004. The deadline for all other competitions
is January 31, 2004.
National Engineers
Week (NEW)
-
Every February, NASA and other Cleveland area
engineers visit classrooms throughout the Northeastern Ohio
area to promote NEW, share career information, and show students
how science, math, and engineering relate to the world around
them and why their studies are important.
New Approach to Self Achievement (N.A.S.A.)
Project
-
The N .A.S.A. Project is a six-week summer program
for students attending Cleveland, OH Public Schools and entering
seventh, eighth, or ninth grade.
Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Aerospace
Academy (SEMAA)
-
SEMAA is an enrichment program designed to target
historically underrepresented and underserved students in grades
Kindergarten through 12th and provide exposure to careers in
science, mathematics, aeronautics, space and technology.
Shadowing
-
Shadowing is intended to provide selected high
school students with a one-day or up to one week career exploration
internship under the mentorship of a Glenn scientist, engineer,
technician, or professional administrator.
-
- The Virtual Interactive Classroom (VIC), an embedded web application,
allows Internet users, specifically students, to remotely control
and access data from scientific experiments.
- WVIZ/NASA Educational Television Channel
-
The WVIZ/NASA Educational Channel is a secondary
channel that WVIX (Cleveland's Public Broadcasting Station)
owns and uses to broadcast educational content to schools within
northeast Ohio.
