Educators Needed to Assist with NASA INSPIRE

Educators Needed to Assist with NASA INSPIRE

Colleagues,


NASA has a summer internship program at each field center that brings in high school students for an eight week work experience. Students between their junior and senior years (typically 17 years of age) are provided room and board during the internship. NASA, through our contract partner Oklahoma State University, is looking for chaperones to supervise the students during their out-of-work time. If you are interested, please visit the link below. US citizenship is required.


The program is INSPIRE: Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research and Education Experience.
