The Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium sponsors education and research programs in the state of Wyoming in support of NASA missions. It serves as a bridge between Wyoming's citizens and NASA, offering research fellowships and internships, scholarships for STEM students, grants for faculty, and educational resources for K-12 students and teachers.
The grant program aims to support K-12 robotics teams in Wyoming by providing funding up to $500 per team. This funding can be used for purchasing materials or supplies, covering travel expenses to robotics events, and other related activities. The initiative's broader goals include promoting STEM education at all levels, enhancing Wyoming's science and engineering research infrastructure, recruiting women and underrepresented students into STEM careers, and increasing public awareness of research and exploration benefits.
