NASA Opportunity for Female High School Juniors

Women in STEM High School Aerospace Scholars (WISH) is an interactive on-line science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning experience for female high school juniors from across the U.S., culminating in a one-week residential experience at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston.  Offered at no cost to the student, WISH consists of seven online modules and a final project from January 2014 through May 2014 under the guidance of certified educators.  Based on success in the online coursework, students may be selected to attend a week-long summer experience where they will interact with NASA scientists, engineers and technologists to design a human mission to Mars.  Additionally throughout the online portion and summer experience, these young women will be introduced to NASA female role models who will share their education and career paths.
