NESSP News: Learn about the National Student Challenge and Upcoming Info Sessions – 🗓
Artemis ROADS II National Student Challenge
Students in grades 3–12 work in teams of 3 to 6 students. Teams will survey the landscape (via robot), prepare to launch a rocket, and simulate living and working on the Moon. Teams receive recognition as they complete Mission Objectives which model a NASA mission. Materials and equipment are provided to qualified teams.
Registration closes on January 17, 2024. Find more details at nwessp.org/challenge/artemis-roads-ii/.
Mini-Mission
Mini-missions are shortened, encapsulated versions of NESSP ROADS programs. NESSP’s mini-mission program offers curriculum and supplies for educators, tribal communities, or youth organizations interested in hosting a day camp with participants in their local communities. Mini-missions work well in a variety of situations from summer camps to Scouting activities to after-school programs.
Coming Summer 2024
Companion Course
Choose from 11 lessons across 4 units featuring hands-on engaging NASA-based science and engineering activities featuring concepts from our ROADS challenges for your classroom, after-school, or community STEM program. Lessons support Next Generation Science Standards and are aligned with NASA missions. Equipment and materials for qualified schools or organizations are available on a 2-month loan.
Registration for classroom loaner kits closes on November 15, 2023.
