Key Experiences
Space.300 is a 9-month hands-on experience for students 14 - 18 years of age. It is the culmination of the Quest Space Program. Students go through an entire engineering research process from concept to data analysis, including the physical launching of their experiment which will be installed on the ISS for 30 days.
The research and planning stage requires that each team draft documentation that must be reviewed and approved by NASA so that their experiment can be manifested in NASA’s flight plans. It’s at this level that students get to use their creativity and technical skills to investigate solutions to real-world problems while using the latest technology on the ISS. Students may obtain Industry recognition by presenting their research at ASGSR or ISS R&D conferences.
Key Outcomes
Your custom experiment flies on a rocket to the ISS, orbits for 30 days, and is then returned to Earth for you to analyze your data. There is no other program like it open to High School students. Students use this experience to differentiate their college submissions. Schools use this program to differentiate their STEM programs. Administrators use this program to introduce energy and aspirational buzz to their parents, community, and school boards. Fewer than 4000 people on earth have run an experiment on the ISS. Your students can be next.
Little known fact NASA scientists rarely get the chance to fly their experiments to the ISS. Quest has enabled roughly 1680 High School students to fly an experiment to the ISS.
