In 1993, NASA AEL began as an innovative project designed to increase the participation of youth in grades K-12 in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
In 2010, WVSU became another host site for this program designed to inspire students to pursue careers in STEM-related fields, engage students, parents/caregivers, family members, and teachers by incorporating emerging technologies into instruction, and educate students utilizing a rigorous STEM curriculum designed and implemented as only NASA can.
Today, WVSU continues to harness NASA’s STEM opportunities for youth and adults by offering a five-core component program to include 1) authentic STEM experiences in and out of our NASA AEL facility, 2) a mobile creator’s innovation maker space, 3) family involvement, 4) professional development for formal and informal (youth-serving organizations) educators, and 5) community and school outreach.
