NASA is awarding approximately $3.7 million to 17 museums, science centers, and other informal education institutions as part of an initiative to ignite STEM excitement. The money will go toward projects that inspire students and their learning support systems to take an active role in the wonder of science, technology, engineering, and math. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to grow the community of informal education organizations through these awards,\u201d said Torry Johnson, deputy associate administrator of STEM Engagement Programs at NASA Headquarters in Washington. \u201cThese organizations bring the excitement of STEM and spaceflight to students where they are, helping us inspire the Artemis Generation of future explorers and innovators. These awards are a real catalyst for partnerships that connect STEM education and NASA\u2019s missions to communities across the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Projects were selected for NASA\u2019s Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II<\/a>) program and TEAM II Community Anchor Awards. Both are funded through NASA\u2019s Next Generation STEM<\/a> project, which supports kindergarten to grade 12 students, caregivers, and formal and informal educators in engaging the Artemis Generation in the agency\u2019s missions and discoveries. The selected projects will particularly engage students from underserved communities in a variety of STEM learning opportunities including exhibits, mentorship, educational content, and hands-on activities.<\/p>\n

TEAM II Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s vision for TEAM II is to enhance the capability of informal education institutions to host NASA-based learning activities while increasing the institutions\u2019 capacity to bring NASA resources to students. The agency has selected four institutions to receive approximately $3.2 million in cooperative agreements for projects they will implement during the next three to four years.<\/p>\n

The selected institutions and their proposed projects are:<\/p>\n
