This summer, the NASA’s Glenn Research Center hosted the NASA Glenn Institute for Secondary Engineering, a free educational experience based on work designed to prepare young high schools and the elderly in professions in the workforce in the field of space.
“The institute is immersed in the work of students in the work of NASA, as it provides basic career preparation tools for future science, technology, engineering and mathematics that focus on professional mathematics,” said Jerry Volz from NASA’s office to participate in STEM.
During the five -day sessions (three separate weeks in July), students used the original NASA mission content and cooperation with Glenn Technical experts. They have gained a deeper understanding of the engineering design process, and they developed practical engineering solutions for the real world challenges, and the primary examples of the main task fields such as:
- Voice relief: How can we reduce noise pollution from jet engines?
- Energy management and distribution: How can we develop a smart energy system for future space plants?
- Simulation moon operations: Can we invent tires that do not use air?
Volz said that he hoped that students will leave the program with three fast food: a deeper curiosity and excitement for STEM professions, and direct insight on how advanced technology in Cleveland contributes to the most prominent missions in NASA.
