> 2009 Team America Rocketry Challenge Accepting Applications
>
>
>
> Registration is open for the Team America Rocketry Challenge 2009, a 
> national model rocket competition for U.S. students in grades 7 through 
> 12. Thousands of students compete each year in the Team America Rocketry 
> Challenge, the world's largest model rocket contest. Cash prizes are 
> awarded to the top finishers.
>
>
>
> Teams of three to ten students design, build and fly a model rocket to 
> carry one raw egg for a precise flight duration of 45 seconds and to an 
> exact altitude of 750 feet. The team whose rocket comes the closest to 
> both, and brings the egg back unbroken, wins.
>
>
>
> To be eligible for the national fly-off, teams must fly a qualifying 
> flight observed by an adult member of the National Association of 
> Rocketry. The top-scoring 100 teams in the country will be invited to 
> participate in the final fly-off to be held in May 2009.
>
>
>
> Participation is limited to the first 750 teams who register by Dec. 1, 
> 2008. For more information, visit http://www.rocketcontest.org/ .

> NASA Opportunity for Students in Grades 9-12: INSPIRE
>
>
>
> The Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research and 
> Education Experience, or INSPIRE, is a multi-tiered project for students 
> and their parents or legal guardians.
>
>
>
> Applications from students in grades 9-12 are now being accepted for 
> INSPIRE's online community through Dec. 31, 2008. NASA's mission provides 
> the content for the online community. Resources, activities and 
> educational modules add relevancy to courses being taught in high school. 
> Activities include participation in video teleconferences with NASA 
> scientists, design competitions and learning modules. The online community 
> allows students to interact with other students with similar interests, to 
> ask questions and to share knowledge, thus building a "Community of 
> Practice." The online community will also offer support for parents to 
> help them better champion their students' goals. Once selected for the 
> online community in January 2009, students will then be invited to compete 
> for the unique grade-appropriate summer experiences ranging from a one-day 
> VIP tour and workshops, a two-week on-campus collegiate experience, to 
> paid summer internships. The dates of the summer experiences and the 
> location of the two-week on-campus collegiate experience will be announced 
> in January, and students will be notified of selections in February.
>
>
>
> INSPIRE provides grade-appropriate NASA-related resources and experiences 
> to encourage and reinforce students' aspirations to pursue science, 
> technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, education and careers. 
> The project also offers resources and information for parents to help them 
> better champion their students' goals. INSPIRE provides participants a 
> rich online community, as well as opportunities to compete to participate 
> in NASA/STEM Experiences.
