TEAM II / CP4SMPVC: Stories From the Field
NASA’s Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) program has selected three additional informal education organizations to promote learning in STEM with the goal of inspiring the next generation of explorers. The three organizations supplement an initial group selected in December 2019.
The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is calling on makers across America to submit their designs for growing plants in space. You’ll have to design, prototype, and test your design – then the engineers and scientists at NASA will select the winning proposal to be considered for implementation in the International Space Station. You can help NASA’s mission for long-distance space exploration with this critical component for sustaining life beyond Earth – growing edible plants!
NASA has selected seven informal education organizations through its Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) Remote Opportunity Rapid Response (RORR) opportunity to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning to inspire the next generation of explorers.
NASA’s Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) program has selected four informal education organizations to promote STEM learning and help inspire the next generation of explorers. The projects provide students the opportunity to engage in NASA’s Moon to Mars exploration approach through science, technology, engineering, and math, and aim to reach populations that are historically underrepresented in STEM professions.
Exploration Place was one of seven museums to receive accolades in the 31st annual Excellence in Exhibition Competition, presented by the American Alliance of Museums at the organization’s Annual Meeting.
NASA’s Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) has selected three additional informal education organizations to supplement the initial group selected in June 2018. The selected projects promote STEM learning to inspire the next generation of explorers.These additional projects, selected from 43 proposals through a peer reviewed process, will be implemented over the next two to three years. The value of each project is approximately $750,000. The TEAM II selection of over $2 million will be awarded to these newly selected projects from the organizations:
Destination Mars: The New Frontier Explores Humankind's Efforts to Reach the Red Planet.
NASA’s Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) has selected three informal education organizations to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning to inspire the next generation of explorers.
The TEAM II solicitation of approximately $2 million will be awarded to the selected projects from the organizations:
On April 25, 2018, students with Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Growing Beyond Earth Project spoke with NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Drew Feustel, who are living and working aboard the International Space Station.The Expedition 55 astronauts answered questions about life aboard the space station, NASA’s deep space exploration plans and conducting science in space. The Earth-to-space call aired live on NASA Television and the agency’s website.
Lunar Caves Analog Test Sites (LCATS) is a Space-STEM learning curriculum that engages a pipeline of motivated middle and high school students and has them assisting aerospace professionals in solving real-world space exploration technology development challenges through investigations of science experiments, space exploration mission operations, technology development, and habitability system architectures.
