Teacher & Counselor Summer Externship Now Open
The CTAE Resource Network is offering stipends and credit for externship opportunities again this summer to 200 CTAE Teachers and Counselors! Sign up will be by application (not through the website). I have attached the application below. Please remember that the application requires the approval and signatures of both the CTAE Supervisor and CTAE Director. Also new this year: contact with industry and securing a location is the responsibility of the individual teacher.
While past participants are eligible, first preference will be given to teachers and counselors who have not previously participated in externships through the CTAE Resource Network. Applications will be accepted by email until May 1 or until all spots are taken.
An externship is a professional learning opportunity that allows educators to complete a period of service in the workplace. This collaborative experience gives educators and business professionals a structured time to connect with one another for mutual learning so that educators ultimately enhance instructional practices that result in improved student performance.
Full Tuition Scholarship Opportunity with Monthly Stipend - Special Coast Guard Initiative
The College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative (CSPI) is a scholarship program designed for college juniors and seniors attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities, who demonstrate a high caliber of academic and leadership excellence. Students enrolled in CSPI receive two years of fully paid tuition while they participate in four hours of weekly Coast Guard duties during the school year, and some additional training during breaks.
Students who participate in the CSPI scholarship program receive a suite of highly competitive benefits, including:
- A monthly salary of approximately $3,600 while a student
- Fully paid tuition and fees for up to two years
- Money for textbooks
- A career straight out of college
- A starting salary of approximately $60,000 upon graduation and completion of Officer Candidate School

NASA's App Development Challenge (ADC)...Please share with your students
NASA needs you! This March they are launching the App Development Challenge (ADC). The challenge provides middle and high school student teams the opportunity to demonstrate the practice of coding and app development. The ADC will ask student teams to develop an app that visualizes three minutes of simulated test data in support of the upcoming Ascent Abort-2 (AA-2) flight test.
In June 2019, NASA will launch a full-stress test of the Orion spacecraft’s Launch Abort System (LAS), called Ascent Abort-2, which will demonstrate the LAS can send Orion and its crew a safe distance from a failing rocket if an emergency arises during ascent to orbit. This flight test is a critical step to demonstrate Orion’s safety as NASA leads the next steps of human exploration into deep space.
Are you part of a middle school, high school or informal education institution and interested in participating? Full details can be found on our website: www.nasa.gov/education/appchallenge
I have also attached an information flyer below.
