A new school year brings fresh opportunities to get involved with NASA. Whether you\u2019re curious about space or eager to build real STEM skills, NASA offers a world of experiences putting you close to the action. As we enter a new golden age of exploration, there\u2019s no better time to jump in, try something bold, and see where your curiosity takes you.<\/p>\n

Gain Hands-On NASA Experience<\/strong><\/h1>\n

NASA opens the door to authentic mission experiences through internships and student challenges. As members of the NASA team, interns work on genuine agency projects and gain industry-ready skills, all with the guidance of NASA mentors. Visit NASA\u2019s internships website<\/a> to learn more about current vacancies, deadlines, eligibility requirements, and more.<\/p>\n

Through NASA\u2019s student challenges and competitions, student teams tackle some of the critical technical hurdles facing mission planners. Flex your innovative muscles and sharpen your collaborative and problem-solving skills while developing, prototyping, and testing your team\u2019s designs. Check out the full list of NASA STEM challenges and opportunities<\/a>, choose one that fits your interests, and assemble your team.<\/p>\n

Discover Technical Careers at NASA<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The future of aerospace depends on a steady pipeline of skilled technical experts ready to make missions and ideas a reality. NASA invites students in high school, community college, and career technical education programs to join in-person and virtual events to explore these important career paths.
\u00a0
NASA Career Technical Education Days bring students on-site to meet NASA skilled technical workers who share what their jobs are like, how they built their careers, and the skills, training, and certifications that have helped them succeed. During NASA\u2019s Next Gen STEM Virtual Career Connections\u00a0, students interact live with technical experts supporting the agency\u2019s missions. Students and teachers can learn more on the Next Gen STEM for Careers<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Contribute to NASA Science as a Citizen Scientist<\/h1>\n

NASA\u2019s Science Mission Directorate invites you to help make real discoveries through science projects powered by volunteers. Join from anywhere, whenever it fits your schedule, and start working with authentic mission data. Help identify comets and asteroids, hunt for binary star systems, and more. Find the project that\u2019s right for you on the list of current citizen science projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keep Up With NASA Missions and Discoveries<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Don\u2019t miss out on NASA\u2019s biggest mission milestones this school year! Up first is the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope<\/a>, scheduled to launch no earlier than 7:20 a.m. EDT on Sunday, Aug. 30. This powerful new observatory has a field of view at least 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope. Be a virtual guest<\/a> for launch and learn more about the telescope with fun activities<\/a> provided by NASA\u2019s Science Mission Directorate. You can also sign up to be a virtual guest<\/a> for NASA\u2019s next crewed launch to the International Space Station, SpaceX Crew-13<\/a>, set to launch in September.<\/p>\n

And be sure to follow NASA\u2019s continuing crew training and hardware preparations for Artemis III<\/a>. Set to launch into Earth orbit in 2027, the flight will test rendezvous and docking capabilities with commercial human landing systems \u2013 landers that will carry astronauts to the lunar surface on Artemis IV and future missions to the Moon.<\/p>\n

Stay Engaged With NASA<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Schools, classrooms, and community-based student groups have further options to engage with NASA and its people. Through In-Flight STEM Downlinks<\/a>, students have their pre-recorded questions answered live by astronauts aboard the International Space Station, demonstrating how STEM careers reach far beyond Earth. Additionally, the NASA Engages<\/a> public outreach program connects agency experts with student audiences to share mission and science updates, helping people discover how NASA\u2019s work unfolds and how they can be part of the journey.<\/p>\n

This school year, whether you\u2019re interested in aerospace jobs or eager to dive into authentic STEM challenges, you\u2019ll find an array of activities and career exploration tools on NASA\u2019s Learning Resources<\/a> website. Explore exciting NASA student opportunities<\/a> and subscribe to the weekly NASA EXPRESS<\/a> email newsletter for the latest NASA STEM opportunities and updates!<\/p>\n
