🚀 Attention educators and youth organizations!

The ARISS - Amateur Radio on the International Space Station program is seeking applications for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students to speak directly with astronauts aboard the International Space Station next school year.

This program inspires students to explore careers in STEM through the lenses of space communication. Art and creative expression are also influenced by an ARISS contact as art can help communicate the experience of space travel and the unique qualities of Earth.

The ARISS program is managed and was created by an international consortium of amateur radio organizations and space agencies, including NASA.

Applications are due May 22 for this competitive program, so don’t wait!
