> NASA is pleased to be offering Launching 2 Learn again this summer.  This opportunity is available for rising college freshmen and sophomores majoring in a STEM degree. There are 15 slots available for students to learn how to build and launch level 1 and level 2 high powered rockets, and learn all the math and science involved.  Students will be given the opportunity to earn their National Association of Rocketry Level 1 certificate.  For the level 2 launch, student teams will perform hand calculations and simulations, then compare these estimations with the results from the level 2 flight, and present it to NASA engineers and personnel.  The purpose is to give students early encouragement to stay enrolled in a STEM degree program by completing relevant and exciting hands-on projects.  Students will be paid a stipend of $2400 to participate in this program.  Some travel funds are available for students that live more than 50 miles from KSC.  The program will be held at KSC July 11 - Aug 5.  Students must be U.S. Citizens to participate.  Applications are due June 20, 2016.  Please note that this is a short turn around.
