NASA: Notice of Intent to Release Summer of Innovation Pilot Cooperative Agreement for STEM programs

NASA has released a notice of intent for a new national effort -- the "Summer of Innovation Pilot Cooperative Agreement." This effort is part of the President's call for new national STEM programs for kids (see forum posting www.http://mentoringforums.educationnorthwest.org/node/178) and is focused on middle schoolers.

"The summer of Innovation will be a (5)-week STEM summer learning program that will launch and culminate in a national event. The objectives of the Summer of Innovation will be accomplished by the strategic infusion of NASA content and products into existing, evidence-based summer learning programs at the state level. Additionally, the program will involve design competitions and flagship events open to students and teachers nationwide. NASA will use the Summer of Innovation as a catalyst to expand, align, and strengthen existing state-based networks."
