| Launch Back Into STEM With NASA/JPL Education Welcome back to school! Set your students on a stellar trajectory this year with these educational resources from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. |  | Name the Mars Rover – Launch things off with an essay contest to name NASA's next Mars rover! To enter, individual students must submit an essay of no more than 150 words explaining their selection. Find out more – including the history of Mars rover names – plus explore lessons you can use to inspire students. |  | Upcoming Educational Events – Hear talks from JPL scientists and engineers, learn how and when to start planning for the science fair, find out about upcoming astronomical events and more. It's all on our events calendar. Check back as events, including educator workshops, are added throughout the year. |  | STEM Lessons for Educators – It's now easier than ever to plan an out-of-this-world STEM curriculum with the lesson collection from JPL Education. Find lessons aligned with the standards you need to teach while engaging students in the latest NASA missions and science from Earth, Mars, Jupiter and beyond! Explore even more resources for educators. |  | STEM Activities for Students – Build your own rover, make a moon-phases calendar, discover the ways NASA uses pi and watch "Mars in a Minute" to learn all about the Red Planet! Learn how NASA explores space and join in the fun with projects, slideshows, videos and games for students. Explore even more resources for students. |  | Teachable Moments – When exciting space events happen, JPL helps you bring it into the classroom with Teachable Moments. Find out how you can turn the latest NASA news into STEM learning with education-focused explainers and standards-aligned lessons that get students participating in engineering and science as it happens. |  | NASA Answers: 'When Are We Ever Going to Use This?' – The space explorers at NASA/JPL answer this age-old question. Find out how scientists and engineers use lessons they learned in grade school to build space robots, make discoveries about planets, and explore the solar system and beyond. |  | Meet JPL Interns – Did you know a talent for origami could get you an internship at JPL? How about that pursuing a major in geology or video-game design might make you the perfect candidate to help land a spacecraft on Mars? Meet JPL interns past and present and learn about the many paths to internships and careers at NASA. | | More to Explore From NASA |  | Space Place and Climate Kids – Kids can play games, discover fun activities and answer their biggest questions about space and Earth science on these NASA websites for elementary-school students. |  | Solar System Trading Cards – Download this set of trading cards representing our solar system and beyond – plus a foldable pouch to put them in! (Tip: Use double-sided printing to match the front and back of each card. To print multiple cards per page, open the file with Adobe Acrobat Reader, and select "booklet.") |  | What's Up Video Series – Monthly installments of this video series feature tips about what to look for in the sky, including planets, constellations, eclipses and meteor showers, and how to spot them!
