NESSP: Northwest Earth & Space Sciences Pipeline announce
ANGLeS program:
- Great opportunity to reach that tween/teen age group - Idea is to have teams made up of grades 5-12
- Do not have to be in a “hub” state to participate
- Do not have to do all the challenges. Could just do the designing a patch challenge.
- They are working on getting funding for those who want to participate. Great way of libraries and schools to combine for a summer program
