We are proud
to participate in several NASA programs including NASA Academy
and The Summer High School Apprentice Research Program (SHARP).
These programs are designed to encourage students to cultivate
an awareness of career opportunities in mathematics, engineering,
science, and technology and to develop leadership and research
skills in aeronautics and space science.
Student levels
range from high school through university. They are assigned
as interns at Goddard Space Flight Center where individual
engineers or scientists actively mentor the students throughout
their internship. Students are assigned to a variety asks
based upon their interests and skill levels, These range
from working in laboratories doing electronic device characterization,
assisting in equipment tests, to updating web pages. This
past year, student projects have included work on the Hubble
Space Telescope's NICMOS cryocooler and Wide Field Camera
3 and the TopHat ballooning
program.
Our 1999 summer
students were invigorating and productive members of our
team, contributing their creativity, enthusiasm and energy
to our projects. We look forward to the summer of 2000 and
to our next group.
