NASA's challenging and exciting missions provide unique opportunities
for engaging and educating the nation's youth. Air travel,
space flight, the exploration of the unknown, and the discovery
of new, mysterious, and beautiful things are all endeavors
that hold an intrinsic fascination for people around the world.
The benefits, to NASA, the Nation, and the world of engaging
students in scientific and engineering adventures cannot
be overstated. By stimulating their imaginations and creativity
and by meaningfully communicating the significance of NASA's
discoveries and developments to them, we expect to improve
the scientific and technological literacy of our young people
and inspire them to pursue careers in science, technology,
and engineering |
