NASA Glenn Research Center Explorers Posts
The NASA Glenn Research Center Exploring Program consists of exciting, hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering and math. The program is open to young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old. Application forms are available on the NASA Glenn Education Web site.
The Open House for the 2009-2010 year will be held on September 8, 2009 from 5:30 to 7:30.
There are four Posts, which each meet one evening per week.
Post 630 explores the basic principles of aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems. The Post meets on Wednesday evenings throughout the school year. For more information about this Post, e-mail Jinho Lee.

Explorers Post 631 - Computer Technology
Post 631 Explorers learn about computer technology including robotics, animation, general programming, game programming, image processing and fundamentals of computing. The Post meets on Thursday evenings throughout the school year. For more information about this Post, e-mail Herb Schilling.

Explorers Post 632 - BalloonSat
This post has a goal to build, test, launch to 100,000 ft and recover, a payload. Students will have a chance to develop and fly payloads for a flight mission like that of a sounding rocket. They will learn about the atmosphere, experiment design, electronics and communications associated with the mission. They will develop and fly a BalloonSat payload into the mid stratosphere, nearly 20 miles above the ground. The Post meets on Wednesday evenings throughout the school year.
Explorers Post 633- Human Space Flight
This post will expose Explorers to various aspects of human, robotic and space exploration. This year through hands-on activities you will explore the technology required to send astronauts to Mars. Discover what is required to ensure astronaut health in space. Have fun and meet new friends as Participants will have fun meeting new friends, as you work together and embark on a mission to the red planet! The Post meets on Tuesday evenings throughout the school year.
NASA Glenn Research Center is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
