Summer of Innovation - Wind Energy Camps

 

During Summer 2010, NASA partnered with the Space Grant Consortia of Idaho, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Wyoming in the Summer of Innovation initiative to use the agency's out-of-this-world missions and technology programs to boost summer learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM. Through the Summer of Innovation program, NASA engaged thousands of middle school teachers and students in stimulating math and science-based education programs. NASA's goal is to increase the number of future scientists, mathematicians, and engineers, with an emphasis on broadening participation of low-income and minority students.

 

In Wyoming, Powering STEM Education in Wyoming with Wind Energy focused on a state-wide, intensive, interactive program about climate change and energy that culminated in the development of fully functional wind turbines and weather stations with remote monitoring capabilities for continued research. 

We hope to continue this program in Summer 2011.  Application information for students and teachers interested in participating is below.  Please contact your local area coordinator for more information and to submit materials.  *The camp is free for students.  Teachers and project coordinators will receive a $10,000 stipend, undergraduate counselors will receive an $1,800 stipend.*
