NASA has teamed with USA TODAY Education to create the “No Boundaries” project and national student competition. This project is designed to help students explore careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and learn more about NASA.
Working at NASA is like exploring space; no boundaries define what professionals do; knowledge and skill sets are constantly expanding. Becoming a NASA professional is challenging, but it is also achievable. If an individual has the curiosity, creativity, determination and problem-solving skills necessary, then the opportunities at NASA are limitless.
The goal of this project is for students to work in small groups to develop a creative project (Web site, video, podcast, song, etc.) that markets careers in science, technology, engineering and math to teens. These groups will then present their projects to their classmates and a class of younger peers.
The No Boundaries Web site has a Teacher Toolkit available and step-by-step instructions for teachers to implement the project in their classrooms. Background information and links to Web sites with career information are also provided.
After presenting their projects, groups are encouraged to enter them in the No Boundaries National Competition. All contest entries must be submitted to USA TODAY Education no later than May 15, 2009.
To learn more about the project and contest, visit the No Boundaries Web site at http://www.noboundaries-stemcareers.com/
