NASA INSPIRE

I hope everyone is enjoying their return to school.

The NASA INSPIRE Program has been mentioned before on these forums, but I'd like to inform everyone of some new opportunities that have just recently opened. This past Summer I was fortunate enough to serve an 8 week internship at Johnson Space Center through this great program, and as a part of my contract I am obligated to spread the word and recruit new members to the Online Community.

INSPIRE (Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research and Education Experience) is a nation wide program offered for students in the 9-12 grades. After being accepted into the Online Learning Community, students are engaged in discussions, activities, online chats with NASA engineers, and many other activities to encourage their participation in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) majors and careers.

In the Spring, students are eligible to begin an application for the Summer Experiences which vary depending on grade level. These range from full summer internships, to day trips to their nearest NASA center.

More information about the program and the application itself can be found at this link. Applications opened August 27th, 2009 and close September 10th, 2009.

I encourage every student to look into participating in this learning experience, and for every mentor or teacher to spread the news. This past Summer has opened many more future opportunities for me at NASA than I previously imagined possible.


Thank you and good luck,
Parker Francis

P.S.- I would love to answer anyone's questions about the application process, the internship, and the great experiences available only to INSPIRE interns; You'd be surprised at what opportunities we had even in comparison to the Co-ops. Feel free to private message me for my e-mail.
