Attention Youth Services

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.

Virtual Music Production & Lyricism

Please share this program with your teens that have an interest in music, the music industry, hip hop, rap, and R & B.

Virtual Music Production & Lyricism
Tuesday, May 4, 2021
4-5 PM via Zoom
Ages 14-18
Library card not required.
Space is limited, register early.
Register on Grafton-Midview Public Library's website via the calendar.
https://gmplibrary.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=3632&backTo=Calendar&startDate=2021/05/01

Make some music! Learn how to create original tracks through the art of beat making, song writing, and rhyming taught by some of the most talented and professional MC's and producers from NYC! BEAT Explorers is a music production and lyricism program that engages students in creative and technical aspects of storytelling through MC’ing/rapping, songwriting and original music production. Participants will learn how to create a basic beat using online music production software. They will then brainstorm ideas and words based on a theme before taking some time to write original rhymes/verses based on that theme. Volunteers will be asked perform their creations live in front of the group followed by a round of constructive criticism and feedback from their peers.
