The Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars (VASTS) program is
an interactive on-line science, technology, engineering and mathematics
learning experience, highlighted by a six-day residential summer academy at
NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Students selected to
participate in the program are immersed in NASA-related research through
interaction with scientists, engineers and technologists. The program is a partnership between the
Virginia Space Grant Consortium and
NASA Langley Research Center with assistance from the
Virginia Department of Education.
The Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars is modeled
after the highly successful, NASA award winning
Texas Aerospace Scholars
program developed by
NASA Johnson Space Center.
NASA Johnson Space Center is providing the online learning modules.
