Computer scientists play critical roles in NASA’s missions and humanity’s progress. It’s because of computer scientists that we can see into our universe’s past and plan for a future on other planets. We’ve teamed up with Code.org to celebrate computer science and introduce students to fun tutorials that show that anybody can learn to code. Whether you’re a firsttime coder, or you’ve been coding for years, NASA has plenty of computer science activities for you to try! https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreduc....

We’re launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work at NASA. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth and strive to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon with the Artemis program.
