2009 National Space Club Scholars Program | The purpose of this program is to provide students with an opportunity to experience how research and development organizations operate on a day-to-day basis. Participants will be assigned to work with a technical professional who is doing work related to the general field of interest to the student. |

Goddard Uplifts Employees, Students and Teachers (GUEST) Summer Professional Development Program for Middle School Teachers |
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Education Office will hold a summer professional development workshop for up to ten middle school teachers of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and/or Geography (STEM-G). Teams of 2-3 teachers from the same school are invited to GSFC for 5 days from July 30 – August 3, 2007. Teacher teams will work with a different GSFC scientist or engineer each morning to learn about his/her career and area(s) of expertise as they relate to STEM-G curricula and the themes of the STS-118 mission—the first flight of an Educator Astronaut. During the afternoon, each team will develop a classroom activity or project that incorporates the knowledge gained from the scientist or engineer in order to provide real life examples of applications to STEM-G middle school curricula. Throughout the 2007-08 school year, team members will implement all five of the activities or projects developed in one or more of their classes as appropriate and provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of the activity/project in teaching the Standards-based content in their teaching field. Each team member will be provided with a stipend of $150 per day after the conclusion of the workshop. Teacher participants who are not within daily commuting distance from GSFC will be responsible for their own living expenses and travel to and from the Center each day. | |

Teachers, what kind of local Earth Science Monitoring Mission could you implement with your students and community given access to cutting edge NASA Satellite data, a remote sensing UAV plane equipped with sensors and ground-truthing tools of your choice? If you have a GREAT idea for a meaningful mission to implement with your students and community simply complete a Goddard Remote Sensing Earth Science Teacher Program Interest Form to share your ideas with NASA scientists. All Interest Forms must be received by May 25, 2007. Six missions will be selected for local implementation during the 2007-2008 school year. Teachers of selected missions will be invited to come to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Maryland for a full week of Remote Sensing Earth Science Training from July 23 – July 27, 2007. Travel, Lodging and Per Diem for food will be provided. For additional information please contact Sallie M. Smith at: (301) 286-7363 or Sallie.Smith.1@gfsc.nasa.gov | |

2008 GSFC High School Internship Program (HIP) Application Due date is March 15, 2008 |
The purpose of this program is to engage students who will be high school juniors in the fall of 2008, in 'real-time' applications of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in a research-focused work world. Interns will learn more about space exploration in general and GSFC-specific areas of earth science, space science, engineering, and technology. The program is 6 weeks in duration. |
| The NASA Solar Terrestrial Probes (STP)/Living With a Star (LWS) Summer Internship offers an opportunity to students to contribute directly to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC) missions. We pair up students with a variety of professionals that help support the Sun-Earth Connection program. | ||

Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP) This program is restricted to applicants who live and attend schools within a 50 mile radius of the NASA IV& V Facility in Fairmont, WV |
The NASA IV&V Facility hosts the Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP). Students who usually possess a diverse background and have interest in science, technology, mathematics, and engineering, work closely with scientists and engineers who act as their mentors. The program offers students a unique and positive experience in their fields of interest, thus encouraging them to pursue careers in science and engineering. | |
|
The purpose of this program is for students to learn more about the daily work life of a a scientist, engineer, or technician through this Job Shadowing career experience. For a pre-arranged time period, usually from 1 - 3 hours, the student has an opportunity to observe and interview the assigned researcher. |
