This summer, NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland hosted the NASA Glenn High School Engineering Institute<\/a>, a free, work-based learning experience designed to prepare rising high school juniors and seniors for careers in the aerospace workforce. <\/p>\n

“The institute immerses students in NASA’s work, providing essential career readiness tools for future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-focused academic and professional pursuits,” said Jerry Voltz of NASA Glenn’s Office of STEM Engagement. <\/p>\n

Throughout the five-day sessions (offered three separate weeks in July), students used authentic NASA mission content and collaborated with Glenn’s technical experts. They gained a deeper understanding of the engineering design process, developed practical engineering solutions to real-world challenges, and tested prototypes to address key mission areas such as: <\/p>\n
