Aerospace Education Services Project

Through utilization of NASA products and materials, AESP helps students understand how STEM content is relevant to them by using real-world and engaging materials in their classroom and encourages them to pursue a career in NASA or other STEM careers.

These educators work with schools and other organizations in order to deliver professional learning opportunities through both face-to-face and virtual venues.

The project is managed by Kyle Peck, Principal Investigator, Peggy Maher, Director and Dan Cherry, NASA Project Manager at the Langley Research Center.

Robots on the Road (ROTR) is an educational program run by traveling NASA specialists in middle schools across the country.

Students in grades 5-8 work in groups in order to determine what their robot is designed to do, and how it uses its motors and sensors to achieve those goals.
