I applied for those.. and they provide housing for you while you are there. I didn't see anywhere that you had to live nearby.

Last year's group came from all over the US. Housing is provided.
It's going to be competitive this year. Lots of applicants.
Good luck to all.

I was a team lead for this program at Goddard last year. If anyone's got any questions about it, let me know -- I'm happy to answer.

Last year, I heard about a week after the supposed notification date. Don't panic too much.

Re: NASA Robotics Academy
Not to break any bad news to anybody but I heard last week and my brother heard a couple days ago. We are both going to the program. Currently he's headed to the AMES center out on the West coast and I'm going to the Goddard Space Center on the East coast. Its a little backward since I prioritized Ames and then Goddard and he did the opposite but I'm not complaining. It looks like it will be a blast!

Re: NASA Robotics Academy
Nope all they've done is give me a vauge, "we're sending you paperwork to fill out." So maybe once i've passed secruity clearance stating that I won't reveal government FIRST robot designs to other countries I'll find out.

Re: NASA Robotics Academy
I heard back from Ames' Gigapan project today. I know housing is provided but is there a stipend? It's either this or Booz Allen Hamilton in DC.

Hey, I'm doing Gigapan, too. My understanding is that the stipend is $4000.
