Women in STEM High School Aerospace Scholars
Female high school juniors are immersed in learning as they become members of the interactive online community WISH, facilitated by NASA. As part of their interactive learning experience, students complete lessons covering past, current and future space exploration. The lessons include an essay, math problem, and quiz and will be graded by certified teachers. To enhance their studies, students will be able to chat with NASA subject matter experts. After completing the lessons, each student will submit a final project based on a leading female STEM professional who is developing cutting-edge technology or performing new research.
As part of the experience, students will compete to attend the summer workshop at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where they will work alongside female NASA engineers and interns to design a mission to Mars. Approximately 40 WISH students will work in collaborative teams doing hands-on activities and presenting their projects to NASA personnel and community leaders.
