NASANASA Goddard Space Flight Center Office of Education is accepting recommend students for a 2023-2024 NASA GSFC High School STEM Academic Research Experience (STEM ARE).
The purpose of a Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) STEM Academic Research Experience is to support school-based curriculum requirements that are designed to increase high school student involvement and interest in STEM disciplines. A STEM ARE placement is not a NASA internship, but an opportunity for qualified students to develop a research project with a NASA mentor to fulfill academic requirements. Since students are receiving academic credit for their project, STEM ARE positions are unpaid. The program provides high school students the opportunity to learn and apply research protocols and processes related to Earth- and Space-systems science, Computer science, Engineering, and Technology. Students participating in a NASA GSFC STEM Academic Year Research Experience are enrolled in an academic course at their school that enables them to participate during school hours in an experiential learning opportunity onsite at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
Attached to this email is a copy of the NASA Goddard High School STEM Academic Research Experience (STEM ARE) description. The application window will remain open through August 1. Please note the following STEM ARE application procedures:
As soon as possible, schools are requested to provide a list to NASA of their top eligible candidates who have a NASA GSFC-related project/interest proposal.
The list should include student(s) name and email address, as well as school name, and school coordinator(s) name and contact information. Please submit the list of students at this secure link: (See new link in email above)
Please share the following links with students as they will support understanding of the range of work at NASA GSFC. Scroll down the page to access links to individual organization pages.
Goddard's Organizations and Projects | NASA
