The NASA Lunar Science Institute supports a vigorous education effort aimed
towards developing the next generation of lunar scientists. Prior to the
NLSI teams being chosen in late 2008, the NLSI will be supporting a small
pathfinding internship program in summer 2008 in cooperation with the NASA
Academy and other existing programs. After the core NLSI teams are chosen,
educational efforts will be developed in partnership with NASA and these
institutions.
The Lunar and Planetary Institute has a long - and strong - tradition in space science education and outreach. Our programs involve a wide variety of audiences, including K-12 students and educators; undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students; and the public in formal and informal venues and on the local, regional, and national levels.
The NASA Academy program is committed to providing a strong technical foundation through which leadership potential can develop among an academically strong and diverse student population. Upon graduation, students immediately find themselves within a latticed network of support from the NASA Academy Alumni Association (NAAA).
