Welcome to NHS's NASA ICED Epic Challenge Program Website

Since 2012, Northbridge High School has offered an applied engineering course called NASA Innovative Conceptual Engineering Design (ICED) Collaborative Class which employs the ICED methodology created by Dr. Charles Camarda, Astronaut and Sr. Advisor for Engineering Development at NASA LaRC. The program encourages ingenuity as well as creativity as students conduct research for solutions to real life issues while they design and build prototypes to be deployed as a solution to an Epic Challenge. This NASA ICED class is designed to help fill the skills gaps needed in today’s workforce with the aim to encourage young people to study mathematics and natural sciences, and to work in the aerospace industry.
