NASA and NIA invite you and your students to participate in the 2017Breakthrough, Innovative, and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge!   TheBIG Idea Challenge is a university-level design competition sponsored by the Game Changing Development Program (GCD) within NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate,

The 2017 RASC-AL competition is seeking concepts that leverage innovations to improve our ability to work more effectively in microgravity, with a focus on the design of more efficient subsystems. Successful proposals will demonstrate comprehensive engineering analysis ofinnovative capabilities and/or new technologies for evolutionary architecture development to enable future missions,

The NASA sponsored California Space Grant Consortium is looking for 8-10 undergraduate students to work on Space Grant projects for Summer 2016 on the UCSD Campus. Students will work as a team for a minimum of 10 hours per week.

NASA is pleased to offer the Launching 2 Learn program 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,

With support from CaSGC, congratulations to UC San Diego’s Team REKK (UCSD students Richard Valle, Euan Tan, Kristine Khieu, and Kyle Gillespie) for their winning entry, the RECC (Rock Extraction Chipping Container), for NASA ‘s 2016 Micro-g NExT  Competition held at the NASA Johnson Space Bouyancy Laboratory (NBL) in April 2016.

Congratulations to our two affiliates, Sonoma State University and UC San Diego, for each winning  one of the Undergraduate Student Instrument Project (USIP) Student Flight Research Opportunities.

NASA will award more than $8 million through the competitively selected USIP to 47 teams of undergraduate students to conduct hands-on flight research.

Do you want to do something really exciting this summer?

OSSI (One Stop Shop Initiative) is a NASA-wide system for the recruitment, application, selection and career development of undergraduate and graduate students primarily in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines.

The Space Life Sciences Training Program (SLSTP) is seeking student applications for the 2016 summer program, which will run from June 13 to August 19, 2016 at NASA Ames Research Center. The Space Life Sciences Training Program (SLSTP) provides undergraduate students entering their junior or senior years with professional experience in space life science disciplines.

The California Space Grant Consortium is pleased to announce its 2016 Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP).  Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 will be awarded to eligible California students who are selected. If you are a Junior or a Senior in college attending a CaSGC Affiliate University please apply during the January 11,
