STEM Funding Opportunities

Expedition Space Lab

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

Expedition Space Lab is built upon the belief that science in space should be within the reach of every educator and student. Each Expedition Space Lab mission highlights free educational programs associated with Space Station Explorers and/or NASA and includes free lessons and resources. Educators can use these free resources to incorporate a “Space Lab” into their organization or classroom.

In addition to these free resources, Expedition Space Lab missions also highlight SSE partner program resources that have associated costs but provide a more engaging learning experience. For example, educators can purchase equipment and kits for their organization or classroom to provide students with hands-on experiments and lessons. Additionally, some SSE partner programs have costs associated with participation.

Below, educators can learn about Expedition Space Lab funding opportunities to cover the costs of additional resources to enhance their Space Lab.
