USRA supports the national effort to engage our students in science, math, engineering, and technology education at all levels. USRA operates education and public outreach programs at each of our research institutes, and supports programs that are specifically dedicated to education. These programs provide opportunities for teachers and students to participate in hands-on activities with the scientists and engineers of the nation's space program.
USRA believes that more relevant exposure to exciting space-related research activities will help to motivate and educate the nation's students and enhance the scientific literacy of the public.
