Become a NASA Explorer School. Your school or school district can enter into a three-year partnership with NASA to bring exciting opportunities to your teachers, students and their families. The NASA Explorer Schools (NES) program is sponsored and implemented by NASA through an agreement with the National Science Teacher’s Association.

Educators and students in a NASA Explorer School will become involved in the excitement of NASA research, discoveries, and missions through participation in engaging learning adventures and scientific challenges. The 2004 program will focus on content in the 4-9 grade levels. Materials will be grade-specific in appropriate concepts from the national education standards. NASA Explorer Schools receive grants of up to $10,000.

The NASA Explorer School program will be accepting applications through an on-line application process starting 9/15/03. For more details click on: http://science.nsta.org/nstaexpress/nstaexpress_2003_09_15_extra.htm
