NASA’s Continued Partnerships with High School Students during a Global Pandemic

NASA HUNCH’s mission is to empower students through Project-Based Learning where they learn skills and can launch their careers through participation in the design and fabrication of real-world valued products. Our goal is to mentor the next generation of students to solve NASA’s greatest challenges even during a global pandemic

The University Rover Challenge: A competition highlighting Human and Robotic partnerships for exploration.

The University Rover Challenge began in 2007 with 4 American college teams competing, now in it’s 15th year there are over 80 teams from 14 countries registered to compete for the top rover designed to assist humans in the exploration of Mars. The Rovers compete aided by the University teams in four tasks (3 engineering and 1 science) in the Mars analog environment of the Utah Southern Desert in the United States. In this presentation we show amazing rover designs with videos demonstrating the incredible ingenuity, skill and determination of the world's most talented college students. We describe the evolution of the competition, diversity of the teams, and common challenges faced by the robotic explorers.

Chapter 8: Strategies for People, Partnerships, and Productivity

Multiple U.S. and international respondents defined leadership as "producing the next generation of scientists." BER could lose its international leadership irrevocably without a pipeline of the best and brightest talent to engage in the program's mission areas. Competition for this talent is international and increasingly intense between public and private institutions in rapidly emerging science and technology areas relevant to BER. The quickly evolving and highly competitive nature of ensuring next-generation scientific leadership raises important questions:

ExMASS: A viable model for authentic student-scientist research partnerships

The Exploration of the Moon and Asteroids by Secondary Students (ExMASS) program provides students the opportunity to conduct authentic, student-led, open-inquiry research with assistance from their teacher and a scientist. One goal of the program is to enhance participants’ attitudes toward science. Most students enter the ExMASS program with positive attitudes toward science. However, the attitude survey developed for ExMASS measured small but statistically significant increases in attitudes. This paper discusses the ExMASS program, an attitude towards science survey designed for the program’s specific audience, and the results of statistical analyses of the survey. The validity of the attitudes survey was tested with an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The results of the EFA revealed two salient factors measured by the survey: 1) Personal Importance of Science and 2) Importance of Science to Society. A reliability analysis revealed a Cronbach alpha value of 0.89. Paired t-tests revealed statistically significant differences in students’ attitudes before and after the program. For Factor 1, participants’ before scores were statistically significantly lower than their post scores, t(88) = 3.16, p<0.05. For Factor 2, participants’ before scores were statistically significantly lower than their post scores, t(88) = 4.47, p<0.05. ExMASS has been shown to be a practical model for programs designed to increase high school student attitudes toward science.
