November 9, 2023
美国宇航局社区学院航空航天学者(NCAS)选择贾斯汀汉高参加NCAS任务2:探索模拟, October 19 – 26, 2023.
汉高成功完成了为期五周的在线NCAS课程，为他赢得了参加在线任务2:探索模拟的机会. 汉高是来自全国各地的数百名社区大学生中参与虚拟体验的一员.
选定的社区大学学生通过虚拟体验了解更多关于NASA的任务和科学与工程方面的职业. Students form teams and design a mission to explore the Moon or Mars. Each student team joins a design team, fulfills a team role, manages a budget, and develops communication and outreach strategies. Students also attend events hosted by NASA subject matter experts, receive information on how to apply for NASA internships, and virtually tour NASA’s unique facilities during the event.
The Minority University Research and Education Program, or MUREP, funds NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars. MUREP致力于让代表性不足和服务不足的学生参与科学, technology, engineering, 和数学(STEM)，提供真实的学习经验，以维持多元化的劳动力队伍.
With this activity, 美国国家航空航天局(NASA)延续了让全国人民参与到人类探索和可持续扩展太阳系的使命中来的传统，并将新的知识和机会带回地球.
“NCAS inspires community college students to advance in STEM fields, and it also opens doors for future careers at NASA. NCAS的校友通常可以进入NASA实习，并可能最终进入NASA工作. 看到一个学生从NCAS的参与者到NASA的同事的进步是值得的,” says Torry Johnson, Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) Manager.
“我认为NCAS项目是我参加过的最好的招聘活动. 我遇到了很多不同专业的人, hear their stories, and learn from their experiences,” says Justin Henkel. “It's a life-changing experience,他补充说，“这激励我在NASA努力工作。, and I'm proud to call myself a NCAS Alumni. “
After NLC, Justin plans to transfer to Texas A&M full-time for Computer Science with an Engineering focus. He also hopes to land a NASA internship. 他说，他的长期目标是享受他正在做的事情，同时养活自己和家人, but still enjoying life. 他希望有一天能在牧场安顿下来，成家立业，过上好日子.
