The program introduces students to engineering and technology concepts used by STEM professionals at NASA to accomplish their research and development work. Students utilize the engineering design process to design and test prototypes relevant to NASA Glenn areas of expertise in aircraft noise reduction, developing power systems for space craft, and designing wheels for rovers to be use on the Moon and Mars. Students can apply the skills developed in this institute to their future academic and STEM career pursuits. ### **Purpose** NASA Glenn Research Center is always looking for dynamic new ways to connect students with the mission content of the Agency. In addition, the Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) has an interest in providing high school students with an authentic work-based learning experience that will help them prepare for their future in the aerospace workforce. During the Institute, students develop fundamental STEM skills needed for careers in the aerospace workforce by completing engineering design and technology-based projects related to current NASA missions. To achieve NASA’s ambitious goals of returning to the Moon and eventually on to Mars, we are going to need the next generation of talented, innovative engineers, scientists, technicians, and manufacturing professions. The growing U.S. space economy must continually cultivate a highly skilled and competitive science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM, workforce today and in the future to achieve and maintain America’s position as a global leader in innovation and technology. To address the growing talent gap in STEM, NASA has sharpened its focus on America’s STEM workforce development needs to accelerate students towards obtaining STEM jobs. NASA’s internships, fellowships, and other student opportunities such as the NASA Glenn High School Engineering Institute provide students with hands-on experiences and demonstrate to future employers that they can do the jobs needed for tomorrow’s space industry. ### **Goals** The NASA Glenn High School Engineering Institute introduces students to engineering and technology concepts used by STEM professionals at NASA to accomplish their research and development work. Students will utilize the Engineering Design Process to design and test prototypes relevant to NASA Glenn areas of expertise in Acoustic Damping, Power Management and Distribution, and Simulated Lunar Operations. Students can apply the skills developed in this institute to their future academic and STEM career pursuits. ### **Scope** During the five-day Institute, students will complete rigorous training, develop designs, and test prototypes. NASA Glenn will provide the technical expertise, guidance, and materials to complete the Institute at no cost to participants (students are responsible for their own meals, lodging, and transportation to/from the institute). A total of 60 students (20 students per week) will participate in the Institutes in July 2026. ### **Eligibility/Requirements** This opportunity is open to students who will be Juniors (11th grade) or Seniors (12th grade) for the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year. Students must have a minimum 3.2 GPA certified by their school counselor and a teacher recommendation. Students will be competitively selected, based on students’ demonstrating a high aptitude for engineering and strong interest in engineering careers at NASA. ### NASA Glenn High School Engineering Scholars Timeline: * March 20: Application Opens * May 1 at 11:59 PM ET: Application Closes * May 18: Selections Announced * July 13 – 17: NASA Glenn High School Engineering Institute Session 1 * July 20 – 24: NASA Glenn High School Engineering Institute Session 2 * July 27 – 31: NASA Glenn High School Engineering Institute Session 3 ### **Institute Curriculum** Students will complete the following three activities during the Institute: 1. **Acoustic Damping** – How can we reduce noise pollution from jet engines? Students will develop acoustic liners with various shapes and patterns to test which design is the most effective at absorbing sound. Acoustic liners are typically placed in front of the turbo blades of a jet engine to absorb the noise generated by the engine. Students will use an additive manufacturing process to replicate their designs that will be tested in a student built acoustic impedance tube that will serve as the test rig for this capstone. Acoustic materials must be designed so that air can pass through the material. 2. **Power Management and Distribution** – How can we develop a smart power system for future space stations? Students will design a Power System that will provide power to fans that circulate air utilizing solar and battery power. With the use of a microprocessor, students will create a power system that will automatically re-route power at low levels as well as providing an automated shutdown when both power sources are low. If time permits, students can add additional load features such as lights and load banks to simulate computers and experiments. 3. **Simulated Lunar Operations** – Can we invent tires that don’t use air? Students will design and fabricate a wheel that does not inflate and can function in an environment with little or no atmosphere. Student designed wheels must not exceed five (5) inches in diameter and perform on dry sand over six (6) feet on a grade of seven (7) degrees while carrying as much weight as possible. Wheels will be evaluated by vehicle motion generated by traction forces only. Any motion generated by propulsion forces observed by “kicking up” sand will not be considered. ### **How to Apply** **Application Requirements:** To be considered for the 2026 NASA Glenn High School Engineering Institute, applicants must submit a complete application package no later than **May 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET.** **Application Package Required Documents** : 1. **Electronic Application Form** : submitted online, Google form (below) 2. **Recommendation Letter:** Applicants must request a recommendation letter from a teacher or school counselor familiar with your interest and skills in STEM.

NASA’s Universe of Learning Program Facilitator Guides provide educators with detailed resources, including background information, activities, and slide decks to engage audiences in exploring astrophysics themes such as Stars, Data & Image Processing, the Electromagnetic Spectrum, and Finding Exoplanets. The goal of NASA's Universe of Learning (UoL) is to connect the public to the data, discoveries, and experts that span NASA’s Astrophysics missions. To make this possible, the NASA's UoL team creates engaging STEM experiences that let people explore data and discoveries from NASA’s Astrophysics missions and learn from the experts behind them. ## Our science center does a lot of work with after school groups weekly. I can’t wait to use this program guide [Finding Exoplanets] to help run some programs for our ‘space week’ this fall. I also appreciate the adaptations for different age groups. Facilitator Southern Arizona One example is the Program Facilitator Guides—a series of resources for informal educators that cover different astrophysics themes and empower organizations to share NASA science with their audiences. Since their introduction, these guides have supported libraries and community centers in delivering engaging STEM learning experiences. ""The Programming Guide is just amazing … that resource alone is really great for planning. There’s so many opportunities for programs… and there’s room for your own creativity as well,"" shared one educator. The NASA's UoL team is excited to announce the refresh of several Program Facilitator Guides, along with the introduction of a new guide. These resources have been updated based on feedback from the informal education community, collected through evaluation surveys, focus groups, and webinars. From events held last year before the updates, the guides received a highly favorable rating—91% of educators found them useful as a resource, emphasizing their value in supporting informal STEM education. To make them more effective, we implemented the following updates: * Easy and direct access to all Program Facilitator Guides through a dedicated web page under the “Informal Educators” menu on NASA’s Universe of Learning. * Creating an easy-to-access URL for the Program Facilitator Guides: https://universe-of-learning.org/program-guides. * Making available PowerPoint slides and Kahoot Quizzes for the facilitator to complement the Program Facilitator Guide themes. * Moving activity guides to a more user-friendly and standard template. * Designing a set of resources around some of the methods astronomers use to find exoplanets — worlds beyond the solar system — in collaboration with a NASA Science Mission Directorate Community of Practice for Education (SCoPE) grantee: * The “Finding Exoplanets” Program Facilitator Guide. * The “Lights, Coronagraph, Action!” Activity Guide that demonstrates how astronomers find exoplanets via direct imaging. * The “Exoplanet Detectives” Activity Guide that shows how astronomers find exoplanets by measuring the amount of light that gets blocked when a planet transits its host star. The new and updated resources are available now through the following URL: https://www.universe-of-learning.org/program-guides. ### For any questions or suggestions, please contact: The NASA’s Universe of Learning team Email: info@universe-of-learning.org Website: https://www.universe-of-learning.org/

NASA’s Universe of Learning Program Facilitator Guides provide educators with detailed resources, including background information, activities, and slide decks to engage audiences in exploring astrophysics themes such as Stars, Data & Image Processing, the Electromagnetic Spectrum, and Finding Exoplanets. The goal of NASA's Universe of Learning (UoL) is to connect the public to the data, discoveries, and experts that span NASA’s Astrophysics missions. To make this possible, the NASA's UoL team creates engaging STEM experiences that let people explore data and discoveries from NASA’s Astrophysics missions and learn from the experts behind them. ## Our science center does a lot of work with after school groups weekly. I can’t wait to use this program guide [Finding Exoplanets] to help run some programs for our ‘space week’ this fall. I also appreciate the adaptations for different age groups. Facilitator Southern Arizona One example is the Program Facilitator Guides—a series of resources for informal educators that cover different astrophysics themes and empower organizations to share NASA science with their audiences. Since their introduction, these guides have supported libraries and community centers in delivering engaging STEM learning experiences. ""The Programming Guide is just amazing … that resource alone is really great for planning. There’s so many opportunities for programs… and there’s room for your own creativity as well,"" shared one educator. The NASA's UoL team is excited to announce the refresh of several Program Facilitator Guides, along with the introduction of a new guide. These resources have been updated based on feedback from the informal education community, collected through evaluation surveys, focus groups, and webinars. From events held last year before the updates, the guides received a highly favorable rating—91% of educators found them useful as a resource, emphasizing their value in supporting informal STEM education. To make them more effective, we implemented the following updates: * Easy and direct access to all Program Facilitator Guides through a dedicated web page under the “Informal Educators” menu on NASA’s Universe of Learning. * Creating an easy-to-access URL for the Program Facilitator Guides: https://universe-of-learning.org/program-guides. * Making available PowerPoint slides and Kahoot Quizzes for the facilitator to complement the Program Facilitator Guide themes. * Moving activity guides to a more user-friendly and standard template. * Designing a set of resources around some of the methods astronomers use to find exoplanets — worlds beyond the solar system — in collaboration with a NASA Science Mission Directorate Community of Practice for Education (SCoPE) grantee: * The “Finding Exoplanets” Program Facilitator Guide. * The “Lights, Coronagraph, Action!” Activity Guide that demonstrates how astronomers find exoplanets via direct imaging. * The “Exoplanet Detectives” Activity Guide that shows how astronomers find exoplanets by measuring the amount of light that gets blocked when a planet transits its host star.
