38. <p>After careful review of hundreds of applications, NASA has selected organizations from across the country to receive ‘Moon Tree’ seedlings that flew around the Moon on the agency’s Artemis I mission in 2022, to plant in their communities. Notifications to selected institutions will be made in phases, with the first beginning this spring, followed by notifications in fall 2024, spring 2025, and fall 2025.</p>
39.  
40.  
41.  
42. <p>NASA chose institutions based on criteria that evaluated their suitability to care for the various tree species and their ability to maximize educational opportunities around the life and growth of the tree in their communities.</p>
43.  
44.  
45.  
46. <p>“A new era of Moon trees will one day stand tall in communities across America,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “NASA is bringing the spirit of exploration back down to Earth because space belongs to everyone. The Artemis Generation will carry forth these seedlings that will be fertile ground for creativity, inspiration, and discovery for years to come.”</p>
47.  
48.  
49.  
50. <p>To commemorate the Artemis I Moon Trees, Artemis II NASA astronaut Christina Koch visited her home state of North Carolina and participated in a tree dedication ceremony at the Governor’s Mansion on April 24. She will be honored by her alma mater White Oak High School, one of many Moon Tree recipients, on Thursday. Since returning to Earth, the tree seeds have been germinating under the care of the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Forest Service, as NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement’s <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/learning-resources/for-educators/">Next Generation STEM</a> project and the agency’s Office of Strategic Infrastructure’s Logistics Management division worked to identify their new homes.</p>
51.  
52.  
53.  
54. <p>“Together, NASA and the Forest Service will deliver a piece of science history to communities across our nation,” said Mike Kincaid, associate administrator, NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement. “Through this partnership, future explorers, scientists, and environmentalists will have the opportunity to nurture and be inspired by these Artemis artifacts in the community where they live, work, and learn.”</p>
55.  
56.  
57.  
58. <p>The Artemis I Moon Trees, rooted in the legacy of the original Moon Trees flown by NASA astronaut Stuart Roosa during Apollo 14, journeyed 270,000 miles from Earth <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/learning-resources/nasa-usda-forest-service-fly-next-generation-of-moon-tree-seeds-on-artemis-i/">aboard</a> the Orion spacecraft. &nbsp;A diverse array of tree species, including sycamores, sweetgums, Douglas firs, loblolly pines, and giant sequoias, were flown around the surface of the Moon. The first batch of seedlings will ship to almost 50 institutions across 48 contiguous U.S. states.</p>
59.  
60.  
61.  
62. <p>“What an incredible journey these future Moon Trees have already been on, and we’re excited for them to begin the final journey to permanent homes on campuses and institutions across the country,” said Forest Service Chief Randy Moore. “We hope these trees will stand for centuries to come for the public’s enjoyment, inspiring future generations of scientists and land stewards.&#8221;&nbsp;</p>
63.  
64.  
65.  
66. <p>Moon Tree recipients will be invited to share their efforts to engage with the public and K-12 learners at quarterly virtual gatherings beginning in summer 2024. Information on educational resources and activities available to educators to share the story and science of Moon Trees with their students can be found <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-stem-artemis-moon-trees/">online</a>.</p>

168. <p>“The underlying inspiration from this piece actually originates from childhood memories. As a kid, I used to sit down in cardboard moving boxes and shuffle along the carpet or wood floors, pretending that I was a pirate or adventurer on a ship exploring the vast unknowns,” Lee said. “Ultimately, I wanted my piece to capture that same childlike innocence and joy from all those years ago.”</p>
169.  
170.  
171.  
172. <p>Lee’s piece stood out among a crowded and creative field. This year’s theme, “Connecting the Dots”, encouraged K-12 students to explore innovative ideas about the intersection of science, technology, and art.</p>

876. <p>More than 600 students with 72 teams from around the world participated as HERC celebrated its 30th anniversary as a NASA competition. Participating&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/stem/roverchallenge/teams/index.html">teams</a>&nbsp;represented 42 colleges and&nbsp;universities and 30 high schools from 24 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 13 other nations from around the world. Teams were awarded points based on navigating a half-mile obstacle course, conducting mission-specific task challenges, and completing multiple safety and design reviews with NASA engineers.&nbsp;</p>
877.

982. <p>At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/kennedy/kennedy-space-center-sustainability/">sustainability</a> and preservation efforts here on Earth are as much of a priority as rocket launches, spacecraft, and the exploration of worlds beyond our own. </p>
983.  
984.  
985.  
986. <p>In celebration of Earth Day 2024, nearly 100 students from Andrew Jackson Middle School in Titusville, Florida, and a virtual audience of students across the country, attended NASA’s Next Gen STEM Earth Day panel at the NASA News Center’s John Holliman Auditorium and press site “bullpen.” &nbsp;</p>
987.  
988.  
989.  
990. <p>On hand were NASA environmental and educational experts who discussed Kennedy’s unique role balancing space launch technology and protected habitat, the center’s new electric vehicle charging stations, and NASA’s Earthrise educational initiative that aims to increase science, technology, engineering, and mathematics literacy.&nbsp;</p>
991.  
992.  
993.  
994. <p>Bob Kline, acting chief of Kennedy’s Environmental Assurance Branch, helped students learn about the importance of protecting the habitat that is refuge to more than 1,500 species of plants and animals. NASA Kennedy shares a boundary with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and the Canaveral National Seashore, which encompass over 140,000 acres of land, waters, and protected habitats. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
995.  
996.  
997.  
998. <p>“Because we’re a wildlife refuge, it’s easy to think the launches would impact the wildlife, but it’s mostly the buildings that might get impacted by wildlife trying to live on them,” said Kline. “During renovations we’ve had to do special things to protect bats and other birds who live in roofs or under bridges. Everything we do, we’re very mindful of the animals, whether they’re endangered or not. We care about them deeply.”&nbsp;</p>
999.  
1000.  
1001.  
1002. <p>Panelist Kim King-Wrenn, a park ranger from Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, echoed Kline’s message. She told students that the spaceport is one of the most biologically diverse places in the world.&nbsp;</p>
1003.  
1004.  
1005.  
1006. <p>Home to everything from the Florida scrub jay to endangered green sea turtles, King-Wrenn classifies Kennedy as the goldilocks of climate zones. &nbsp;</p>
1007.  
1008.  
1009.  
1010. <p>“Right here is where the northern temperate zone and the southern, subtropical zones come together,” King-Wrenn said. “The more habitat diversity there is, the more diverse homes there are for more kinds of animals.” &nbsp;</p>
1011.  
1012.  
1013.  
1014. <p>Students like 7th grader Zoe Oderman were fascinated by the coexistence of nature and technology across the spaceport. “The Vehicle Assembly Building was awesome, but I love that the beaches at Kennedy Space Center give turtles a place to lay their eggs, because other places in the area don’t,” Oderman said. &nbsp;</p>
1015.  
1016.  
1017.  
1018. <p>Kennedy employee Spencer Davis discussed the installation of 56 electric vehicle charging stations during his time at the NASA Transportation Office on center. The new infrastructure helps support a fleet of electric government vehicles including the all-electric crew transport vehicles that will take Artemis astronauts from their crew quarters to the launch pad. &nbsp;</p>

1024. <p>Later this summer, Davis and his team will be honored at the White House for these efforts to facilitate a future of zero carbon emission government vehicles and help save taxpayer money. &nbsp;</p>
1025.  
1026.  
1027.  
1028. <p>“The big takeaway here is in order to charge up and drive one of Kennedy’s Chevrolet Bolts 100 miles, it only costs $2.80,” Davis said. “That’s basically the price of a soft drink.” &nbsp;</p>
1029.  
1030.  
1031.  
1032. <p>The students also learned about <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/stem-content/earthrise/">Earthrise</a> from panelist Kelly McCarthy, program specialist with NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement at the agency’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. &nbsp;</p>
1033.  
1034.  
1035.  
1036. <p>The NASA education initiative provides educators with access to monthly collections of resources aimed at increasing STEM literacy and understanding the importance of protecting our home planet. &nbsp;</p>
1037.  
1038.  
1039.  
1040. <p>“Earthrise is a really good way to find out the most relevant and useful solutions-based resources that exist right now,” McCarthy said.&nbsp;</p>
1041.  
1042.  
1043.  
1044. <p>Besides offering their expertise on sustainable practices as well as words of encouragement to the future stewards of our planet, the panelists inspired students to pursue STEM careers, including at Kennedy.&nbsp;</p>
1045.  
1046.  
1047.  
1048. <p>“You can do anything you want to do out here, and if you really apply yourself you can get into any field,” Davis told the students. “Don’t be afraid to step outside the box. Don’t be afraid to do something completely different, even if it’s scary. Take every opportunity and seize the moment.” </p>
1049.  
1050.  
1051.  
1052. <p>The event was coordinated through the Next Gen STEM project in NASA’s <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/learning-resources/stem-engagement/">Office of STEM Engagement</a>, which reaches students in schools and informal classrooms across the county. &nbsp;</p>

1111. <p><br><strong>About the Challenge</strong>&nbsp;<br>The Human Exploration Rover Challenge tasks high school, college, and university students around the world to design, build, and test their lightweight, human-powered rovers on a course simulating lunar and Martian terrain, all while completing mission-focused science tasks. Eligible teams compete to be among the top three finishers in their divisions, and to win multiple awards including best vehicle design, best rookie team, and more. &nbsp;</p>
1112.  
1113.  
1114.  
1115. <p>The challenge annually draws hundreds of students from around the world and reflects the goals of NASA’s <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/what-is-artemis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Artemis campaign</a>, which will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon.&nbsp;</p>
1116.  
1117.  
1118.  
1119. <p>The event was launched in 1994 as the NASA Great Moonbuggy Race – a collegiate competition to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/missions/apollo11.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apollo 11 lunar landing.</a> It expanded in 1996 to include high school teams, evolving again in 2014 into the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge. Since its inception, more than 15,000 students have participated – with many former students now working in the aerospace industry, including with NASA.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
1120.  
1121.  
1122.  
1123. <p>The Human Exploration Rover Challenge is managed by NASA’s Southeast Regional Office of STEM Engagement at Marshall and is one of eight <a href="https://stem.nasa.gov/artemis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Artemis Student Challenges</a>. NASA’s <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/stem" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Office of STEM Engagement</a> uses challenges and competitions to further the agency’s goal of encouraging students to pursue degrees and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

1344. <p>The My NASA Data (MND) project supports grades 3rd through 12th-grade students and teachers across the globe in analyzing and interpreting NASA mission data. MND provides student and teacher materials, including teacher-facing lesson plans, student-facing lessons and interactives, and NASA data via an easy-to-access interface.</p>
1345. <p>Having recently celebrated <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/learning-resources/science-activation/my-nasa-data-over-1-million-digital-engagements-in-2023/" rel="noopener">over 1 million digital engagements</a> in the 2023 fiscal year, MND was excited and amazed to experience a record-breaking 1 million visitors from March 10 – April 10, 2024 -– a single month! – due to interest in the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse, with increased traffic from states within the path of totality. Visitors to the website used search terms: eclipse, solar eclipse, and what is a solar eclipse. Web metrics show that visitors most frequently viewed lesson plans and what MND calls “mini-lessons”, and the majority of views were from users in Texas, New York, and Illinois.</p>
1346. <p>Check out the MND Featured Mini-Lessons related to the solar eclipse: <a href="https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/phenomenon/solar-eclipse" rel="noopener">https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/phenomenon/solar-eclipse</a></p>
1347. <p>There were over 32,000 views of story maps and interactives alone, which is double the number of views from the same time period the previous year. The “Learning from Stars and Solar Eclipses” story map accounted for over 10,000 of these views. Over 1,500 “teacher answer-key” requests were manually reviewed and approved from March 1, 2024 – April 16, 2024, with most requests from Texas, Indiana, and Ohio. In a normal month, MND receives ~100 of these kinds of requests.</p>
1348. <p>Educators will be invited and encouraged to continue using My NASA Data, and a webinar will be offered on April 24, 2024 for new users. Information regarding the upcoming webinar can be found by creating an educator account on <a href="https://stemgateway.nasa.gov/connects/s/" rel="noopener">NASA CONNECTS</a>, a forum for connecting the NASA network of educators for collaborating together in Science, Technology, Engineering, &#038; Mathematics (STEM). Learn more about the benefits of being a part of NASA CONNECTS: <a href="https://stemgateway.nasa.gov/connects/s/benefits-of-membership" rel="noopener">https://stemgateway.nasa.gov/connects/s/benefits-of-membership</a></p>
1349. <p>The My NASA Data solar eclipse resources were developed through a collaboration with the <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/sciact-team/nasa-heliophysics-education-activation-team/" rel="noopener">NASA Heliophysics Education Activation Team (HEAT)</a>. Some of the resources were designed to prepare audiences for the 2023 and 2024 solar eclipses, but most can be used at any time to support instruction related to the Sun, Earth, Moon connection.</p>
1350. <p>My NASA Data is part of the Global Learning &#038; Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Mission Earth project, which is supported by NASA under cooperative agreement award number NNX16AC54A and is part of NASA’s Science Activation Portfolio.</p>
