9th Grade Students : Application Open for BLAST
NASA’s Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VSGC) is excited to share that the application window is now open for Building Leaders for Advancing Science and Technology (BLAST), our FREE summer residential STEM program for 8th and 9th grade students in Virginia!
BLAST offers students a unique opportunity to explore their passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields through immersive experiences and career exploration. This free program allows selected students to spend 3 days and nights at either ODU, RU, UVA, VT, or W&M. Led by university faculty, students engage in hands-on STEM activities, attend demonstrations, tours, and guest speaker sessions. We are asking for your help to ensure every qualified student in Virginia knows they can apply.
The BLAST application window closes Saturday, February 1, 2025.
