  • A NASA competition is bringing the fun of science experiments to schools in our area and across the country! The winning teams have been announced and that includes one from Morgantown South Middle School right here in West Virginia.

The NASA TechRise Student Challenge, as detailed in the article from MSN, is an initiative aimed at fostering STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education among middle and high school students. This competition encourages students to design, build, and launch experiments into the stratosphere using a high-altitude balloon. The program not only provides hands-on experience with real-world technology but also aims to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers by offering them a unique opportunity to engage with NASA's resources and expertise. The challenge includes various stages from proposal submission to experiment execution, with winners receiving funding and support to see their projects come to life. This initiative underscores NASA's commitment to educational outreach, promoting innovation, and preparing students for future careers in STEM fields.
