The NASA L'SPACE Program is a free, online, interactive experience open to undergraduate and graduate #STEM students interested in pursuing a career with NASA or other space organizations. L'SPACE consists of two Academies - the Mission Concept Academy and the NASA Proposal Writing and Evaluation Experience Academy. Students may participate in one Academy per semester. Each 12-week Academy is designed to provide unique, hands-on learning and insight into the dynamic world of the space industry. Students can expect to learn NASA mission procedures and protocols from industry professionals as they collaborate with fellow team members to complete mission-related team-projects. Requirements for participation: Students must be enrolled in a US college or University as an undergrad (graduate students may apply to NPWEE); have access to a computer with internet, webcam, and headset capabilities; and have time to devote an additional 6-10 hours per week, beyond the online session requirements, towards team projects. Are you ready to skill up and launch yourself into your future in the space industry? APPLY TODAY! #stemforall #workforcedevelopment #diversityinspace #science #womeninengineering
