April 27 – NESSP April Newsletter 🗓
Greetings from NESSP HQ!
In this issue we announce the opening of the 2024 ROADS Summer Mini-Mission application and remind you of several upcoming challenge events and deadlines.
| 2024 ROADS Mini-Mission applications are now open! |
| NESSP Mini-missions are summer experiences led by local educators and community members. NESSP provides suggested activities, supplies, training/support, and instructor stipends. Instructors make the schedule, find a place to host, and recruit students. This year, NESSP offers three mini-mission options: Artemis ROADS mini-mission, Icy Worlds mini-mission, and James Webb mini-mission. Priority is given to educators in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana and previous ROADS Mission Advisors. Apply soon! Applications close on May 20th, 2024! https://nwessp.org/programs/mini-missions/ |
| Happy Citizen Science Month! |
| Did you know that April is Citizen Science Month? Its nearly the end of the month but it never too late to #DoNASAScience by contributing to one of NASA’s many Citizen Science Projects. There are projects available for all age ranges and levels of time commitment.
