I got involved in INSPIRE my junior year through a FIRST robotics email! It is an AMAZING opportunity and program!! I had an 8-week internship at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland last summer and have been accepted as an INSPIRE intern for this summer also! I worked/will be working in the Electric Propulsion Lab and worked with the Solar Simulator! I actually did engineering work, I didn't just fetch coffee or run off papers! All of the interns that worked there had hands on things that they were working on that were important to the success of various sections of NASA! INSPIRE offers many ways for students to get involved in all sorts of NASA programs! It has helped me so much to grow and now I have connections at Glenn Research Center for further employment! I would recommend everyone apply for the online community, learn as much as you can and apply for the summer experiences! You will NOT regret it!
If you have any questions about the application process or the program itself, feel free to private message me or respond!
