Please excuse cross-postings.

I just received this announcement from the NASA Glenn Education Center, which is accepting applications from Ohio formal and informal education institutions to receive training and materials to implement an Engineering Design Challenge for 6th-8th graders. NASA will award up to 30 institutions between $250-500 to cover travel to a one-day facilitator training workshop, and materials and supplies for participating students. Please see below for details and timeline. The application is here: https://tinyurl.com/NASA-Glenn-EDC-Solicitation and is due by November 9.

Sincerely,

Dear Educators,

The NASA Glenn Research Center Office of Education is soliciting applications from youth-serving organizations (YSOs) and formal/informal education institutions in NASA Glenn's home state of Ohio. This solicitation is requesting proposals to implement STEM content in out-of-school time (OST) settings for students in grades 6-8 from December 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 using the NASA Glenn Engineering Design Challenge (EDC): Powered and Pumped Up. This challenge provides students the opportunity to work on real-world problems in a collaborative, team-based environment.  Students apply lessons learned to solve problems that STEM professionals face while gaining a deeper knowledge of how NASA is a part of their everyday lives.
