Inspire Program |
| The
Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating
Research and Education Experience, or INSPIRE,
is a multi-tiered student pipeline project for
students and their parent or legal guardian. Participating
students must be in grades 9-12 or in their freshman
year of college. INSPIRE is designed to provide
grade-appropriate NASA-related resources and experiences
to encourage and reinforce students' aspirations
to pursue science, technology, engineering and
mathematics, or STEM, education and careers. The
project also offers resources and information
for parents to help them better champion their
student's goals. INSPIRE provides participants
a rich online community, as well as opportunities
to compete to participate in NASA/STEM Experiences.

| Kennedy Space Center Intern Program |
| The Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Intern Program is intended to attract students who are pursuing a degree which KSC normally recruits to work during the summer months as well as other academic terms. The objective is to provide students valuable work experience related to their academic studies and knowledge of KSC's mission. The Program also provides KSC an opportunity to evaluate the student's suitability for participation in the Co-op Program or full-time employment upon graduation. |

| Kennedy Space Center National Explorer Schools (NES) |
| NASA's challenging and exciting missions provide unique opportunities for engaging and educating the nation's youth. The benefits, to NASA, the Nation, and the world of engaging students in scientific and engineering adventures cannot be overstated. By stimulating their imaginations and creativity and by meaningfully communicating the significance of NASA's discoveries and developments to them, we expect to improve the scientific and technological literacy of our young people and inspire them to pursue careers in science, technology, and engineering. --> |

| Kennedy Space Center Community Outreach Programs in Education (COPE) |
| The KSC center-unique Community Outreach Programs in Education (COPE) encompass a broad array of programs and activities. The majority of the activities are local and customer-driven. Students, educators, civic groups and local residents have numerous, diverse requests for NASA educational infomration and assistance. Some requests are spontaneous, some recur each year, and some result in the development of sustainable, repeatable programs. Formal and informal education objectives are accomplished through COPE activities. COPE activities are often the segment of the pipeline through which participants move from informal to formal programs. |
