NASA
is very interested in working with students interested in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Many internship
possibilities exist across the country for both high school
and college students. Students who have participated in the
NASA Robotics for Research and Exploration Fall 2003 course
should consider pursuing their involvement with NASA further
by applying for one of these exciting opportunities. For more
