Cross-posted. Please excuse duplication.

Please see below and attached for a summer 2021 funding opportunity from NASA specifically for youth-serving entities in Ohio.

The NASA Glenn Research Center Office of STEM Engagement is soliciting proposals from youth-serving organizations and formal/informal education institutions in Ohio to receive professional development and implement NASA STEM content. This opportunity allows each organization to submit a brief proposal for collaboration with NASA with an option to request funding for up to $2,500.00 for materials to implement the content with 5th=9th grade students.

There is a lot of info below and attached about this opportunity. Best place to start is the website, which describes and links to everything else here:

Dear Educators,

The NASA Glenn Research Center Office of STEM Engagement is soliciting proposals from youth-serving organizations and formal/informal education institutions in Ohio to receive professional development and implement NASA STEM content. This opportunity allows each organization to submit a brief proposal for collaboration with NASA with an option to request funding for up to $2,500.00 for materials to implement the content with students.

NASA is taking steps to begin the next era of exploration, to push the boundaries of human exploration forward to the Moon and on to Mars. As we carry heavier loads farther into space, rockets require more thrust. Cryogenic propellants are the best option to achieve this thrust. Liquid hydrogen and other cryogenic propellants must be kept at extremely cold temperatures, ranging from -243°F to -423°F. Any outside energy threatens to raise the temperature of the fuel and cause it to evaporate, reducing the efficiency of the rocket. NASA's Evolvable Cryogenics project (eCryo) is managed by NASA Glenn and works to combat this problem with a variety of techniques, including reflective multilayer insulation and vapor cooling channels.

NASA Glenn's Office of STEM Engagement has developed a new engineering design challenge (EDC) called Keep It Cool that guides students through the engineering design process. They must design, test, and improve systems to maintain cold temperatures within a simulated cryogenic propellant tank. This solicitation is requesting proposals to implement the engineering design challenge: Keep It Cool with students in grades 5-9.
