NASA Student Involvement
Program (NSIP)
The NASA Student Involvement Program (NSIP) is a national program of
investigations and design challenges. NSIP links students directly with
NASA's diverse and exciting missions of research, exploration, and discovery.
By participating in these competitions and learning activities, students
design space missions, investigate Earth from space, explore Earth systems
in their neighborhood, and learn about the latest developments in aeronautics,
and Earth and space exploration. NSIP is a wonderful opportunity for
students to learn science by doing science.

Dropping In
a Microgravity Environment (DIME)
Interested
teams will prepare a proposal for a drop tower experiment and submit
it to NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The proposals
will then be evaluated and four winning teams will be chosen. The four
teams will then complete the design of their experiments and take them
to Glenn Research Center to operate them in the drop tower. The center
will provide an expense-paid trip for five representatives from each
winning team. Check the DIME
Web site for more information.
