REU/Internships

---

Throughout the year we will be posting REU/Internship opportunities on this page.  Check back often as more opportunities are posted.

• SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY:  STUDENT EXPERIMENT MODULE (SEM) SATCHEL INTEGRATION WEEK AT KENNEDY SPACE CENTER
  Deadline:  December 23, 2005
  
  Student-designed experiments to be flown aboard the ISS are now being accepted.  At least one of the spaces in this opportunity is being reserved for the informal education community.  Museums, science centers, afterschool and community groups, and all other informal educators are encouraged to apply.
  
  The SEM Satchel carrier provides the opportunity to place student developed experiments in the environment of the ISS. Students place different types of materials in NASA provided vials to conduct a "fly and compare" type of investigation.  Each experiment consists of up to 5 vials. The current opportunity will launch 60 SEM Satchel experiments on the European Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) mid year 2006.
  
  For additional information about SEM Satchel, go to http://www.wff.nasa.gov/efpo/satchel/index.html
  
  An integration workshop will be conducted at KSC in support of flight preparation of experiments. Two students and one educator from 10 groups across the US will be provided transportation to KSC for integration of their experiments and to participate in facility tours.  For informal education, the program is open to partners working with youth in grades 6 – Undergraduate.  Winning teams will be selected on a competitive basis.
