Additionally, this project seeks to use NASA-inspired activities and materials to excite and engage students in STEM, and thereby support the movement of these students into careers in STEM fields, specifically those traditionally underrepresented in STEM. Specific project activities include: creating a series of outreach events, extended camps for middle and high schools, and professional development workshops for middle and high school teachers all in the service of providing immersive events based on NASA earth and space science missions that increase the skill level and enthusiasm of teachers and students for STEM.
