NASA MUREP Aerospace Academy of Northeastern North Carolina
Is a collaborative effort between Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) and the National Aeronautical and Space Administration’s (NASA's). The program will adopt a well-established NASA STEM curriculum with problem-based learning at its core, aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, with the commitment to increase STEM exposure for students in grades K– 12. This week—long structured STEM enrichment program engages High School students in hands-on activities that improve their critical thinking and analytical skills within science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Participants will develop and strengthen the skills and knowledge needed for success in STEM studies and STEM Careers. Hands-on activities in our Aerospace Education Lab (AEL) will be complemented by guest speakers and field trips. All Aerospace Academy activities will lead to a final project, culminating with an awards program.
