COMPETITIONS

NASA-NSTA Space Science Student Involvement Program:

This is a great opportunity for your whole class. The NASA-NSTA Space Science Student Involvement Program offers "contests" for kids in Grades 6 -12.

Back in the early 1980's this program was called the Space Shuttle Student Involvement Program. At that time, it was open only to high school students, who had to propose experiments that might be flown on the space shuttle. Indeed, some student really got to fly experiments on the shuttle.

Today, while NASA can no longer promise to fly student experiments on the space shuttle, the Space Science Student Involvement Program has been expanded to include grades 6 -12 and offers a number of exciting competitions each year.

Contact NSTA as soon as possible about their project for the 1995-96 year.
