Artemis ROADS II Registration Form

Before you fill out the form, please read through this page of frequently asked questions.

What am I registering for? You are registering to be an Artemis ROADS II National Student Challenge Mission Advisor. You will guide a group of students you recruit through the eight Mission Objectives outlined in our Challenge Manual (MANUAL LINK).

What is a Mission Advisor? A Mission Advisor is an adult who will be guiding the team. This person could be a classroom teacher, the advisor for an extracurricular club, a Scout leader, etc. The Mission Advisor is responsible for managing all communications between NESSP and the team, including team registration and submitting results. Teams may have up to two Mission Advisors. Mission Advisors must register during the “Lift Off” submission by providing their name, contact and organization information by January 17, 2024. Only registered Mission Advisors will be able to submit their team information (see below).

What are the guidelines for student teams? A team must consist of 3 to 6 students in grades 3–12, working together to complete the challenge. Team members must be enrolled in primary or secondary school or under 18 at the time of registration to participate. Registered Mission Advisors must submit details (names, ages, etc.) about your student team members in the “Injection Burn” submission, which has a deadline of January 31st, 2024.

What if I want to mentor more than one team? That is great! You must complete this registration form for each team you plan to mentor. This will give each team a unique team number so we can track them. Submitting this form for each team also allows you to request supplies for each team.

I’m just using the Artemis ROADS II Companion Course with students, and I don’t plan on mentoring a student challenge team. Do I need to fill this out? No, but please let us know if you use the Companion Course by filling out this short form (FORM LINK, it greatly helps us!). Educators who have participated in NESSP professional development can also use that form to request a classroom supply loan.

I have more questions. Hey, we understand! The best thing you can do is attend an Information Session (see our Events Page). However, you can also email your questions to info@nwessp.org.

Student Challenge Supply Loan Agreement

NESSP is funded through a federal grant from NASA’s Science Activation Program. The materials provided for the Artemis ROADS II Challenge Teams are loans that must be used by educators with K-12 students participating in NESSP activities, including the National ROADS Challenge, the ROADS Companion Course, or the summer Mini-Missions.

Educators who request a supply loan for a student challenge team but choose not to or cannot engage students in one of these programs must return the non-consumable supplies loaned to them. This ensures that these supplies can be provided to educators participating in NESSP programs.

NESSP provides a return label with all shipped items to facilitate the return process. In case this label is misplaced, educators can request another label at https://nwessp.org/supply-return/.

Furthermore, educators who have previously received and still possess loaned materials should refrain from requesting additional duplicate materials (e.g., an extra robot).

We sincerely appreciate your participation in NESSP programs and your cooperation in helping us support and inspire as many students and educators as possible.

Please sign to show you have read and acknowledge the Student Challenge Supply Loan Agreement above. *
