The 2011 NASA Academy Application is now open!
The Academies are intensive educational programs emphasizing group
activities, teamwork, research, and creativity. The curriculum balances
direct contact with science and engineering R&D with an awareness of the
managerial, political, financial, social and human issues faced by aerospace
professionals. Included are seminars, informal discussions, evening
lectures, supervised research, visits to other NASA Centers and facilities,
group project/s, tours, posters/presentations, and assessment. Additionally,
most weekends are filled with group activities, team building and off-site
trips. One free weekend is scheduled.
The Academy is not a 9-5 summer research internship program. It is a
rigorous, immersive experience that will challenge you. The academy is a
space-themed program of high learning about NASA, its projects and
collaborations with aerospace industry and academia, with very little down
time, but a busy, exciting summer that you will not forget.
The Academies have separate focus areas of leadership (NASA Academy),
robotics, space and planetary science, and propulsion.
The deadline is January 18, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
