NASA continues to blend Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) using Education resources related to current and future missions. This is an oppurtunity to discover the learning potential in trying new approches to the seemingly difficult or impossible. The workshops will explore engineering design challenges, problem-based learning activities, distance-learning modules, inquiry-based lessons, and hands-on projects.
