Since she was three years old, Alyssa wanted to fulfill her dream of being an astronaut. Alyssa is in the 7th grade at Baton Rouge International School, where she studies all her subjects in 4 different languages. On October 9, 2013 she became the first person to complete the NASA Passport Program, going to all 14 NASA Visitor Centers in the US. She has appeared in several tv shows, been written up in numerous newspapers and magazines. Alyssa wants to be one of the first humans on Mars.

About Alyssa

At her young age, Alyssa already has a quite impressive list of accomplishments, including:

• Attend Space Camp 7 times, Space Academy 3 times and Robotics Academy 1 time
• Be the first person to complete all the NASA Space Camps in the world, including Space Camp Turkey and Space Camp Canada
• Witness 3 Space Shuttle launches
• Attend Sally Ride Camp at MIT, and three Sally Ride Day camps
• Speak several foreign languages: Spanish, French, Chinese and some Turkish
• Deliver motivational speeches to other children

Hello, my name is Alyssa Carson and at the age of 3 I wanted to fulfill my dream of being an astronaut. I hope to be the first or one of the first on Mars. I would love to go to Mars because it is a planet that no one has been before. It’s about the same size as the Earth and there are ice caps at the top and bottom of Mars. That means there is water on Mars. This could possibly be our next Earth. Just think about all the things that are in Space. For example: planets we have never explored, galaxies that we have never heard of, stars that are just babies, black holes that are as wide as the Sun to Pluto multiple times and has the mass of a billion suns, parts of the universe that we have never seen. Just think of all that stuff just floating around. It’s more than you can imagine.

I AM THE MARS GENERATION

High School Opportunities

The Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars (VASTS) is an interactive on-line science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning experience, highlighted by a six-day residential summer academy at NASA Langley.

NASA Langley sponsored program For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) challenging students to solve engineering problems in regional competition.

Governor’s School Engineering Mentorships available with NASA Langley Engineers.

NASA Internships and Fellowships offers paid internships to High School students over the summer semester.

Other NASA opportunities may be available via your State's Space Grant Consortium. Find your state and review their opportunities to get involved.

Current students over the age of 16 are eligible to apply to the NASA Langley Student Volunteer Program.

UTI’s programs were designed for the hands-on learner looking for an accelerated path to preparing for a career. Programs begin every 3 to 6 weeks, and you could be ready to go into the professional workforce in just under a year.

Our curriculum focuses on what the industry says matters most. At UTI, you’ll learn skills directly related to the job, providing you with a strong foundation of knowledge you can build upon. You won’t be spending all of your time in a lecture. Instead, you’ll learn in dynamic classroom and lab environments and have the opportunity to work with the same tools and technologies used in the field. UTI’s campus experience is anything but boring!

Every year, millions of high school students face the decision of where to continue their education after graduating, if they choose to do so. If you’ve considered attending a trade school, you’ve probably wondered, “Is learning a trade better than college?” When it comes to comparing college and trade school, there are some key differences to keep in mind.

Traditional four-year colleges and universities typically lead to a bachelor’s degree upon graduation. College students will often spend their first two years completing prerequisite courses such as math, history, science and English before moving on to the curriculum specific to their major.

Trade schools, on the other hand, typically offer programs that can be completed in one year or even less. The goal of these schools is to provide students with job-specific knowledge and skills that allow them to gain expertise in the industry and their specialized field. Classes offered at trade schools are often smaller in size and provide a hands-on environment where students can learn and apply their knowledge.

When it comes to choosing between traditional college and a trade school, it’s important to make the right decision for you. There are several factors to consider, including cost, time, specialization and type of learning style the school caters to. If you’re a hands-on learner and want to acquire career-specific knowledge, attending a trade school may be the route to take!

• Schoolinks is the districts new college platform. It can be found in your JISD Student portal. You can research colleges, take interest/career quizzes, build a college list, and use the Common App to apply for colleges. Get familiar with this platform because you will use it often as a senior to submit your acceptance letters and scholarships.
