Canadian student participation in the NASA Academy 2010
NASA Academy is an intensive 10-week resident summer research program for diverse undergraduate and graduate students interested in careers in aerospace-related fields. It fosters creativity, personal initiative, leadership, teamwork, appreciation of diversity, and professional ethics in science. The Academy augments research with a senior scientist, engineer or other professional with interactive sessions with leaders in government, industry, and academia, a collaborative group project, lectures, field trips, oral and written presentations and middle & high school mentoring. The RAs gain experience in world-class laboratories, and build bonds with other future leaders including Academy alumni.
For the 2010 session, the Canadian Space Agency will fund ONE Canadian undergraduate or graduate student's participation in the NASA Academy. This student will be selected following an evaluation of the required application criteria by scientists at the Canadian Space Agency and at NASA.
