The Johnson Space Center Texas Aerospace Scholars Program is a year-long educational experience affording over 200 high school students an opportunity to interact with engineers and scientists at the NASA Johnson Space Center. The learning experience focuses on eight one-week residential camps where selected students are encouraged to study math, science, engineering, or computer science while interacting with mentors, teachers, scientists, and engineers. Ms. Rita Karl, the USRA Education Curriculum Manager for TASP, works in partnership with JSC, its contractors, the State of Texas, and public educational institutions across the State to implement and manage the program. An outstanding assembly of academic and industry leaders was organized in 1989 to offer programmatic advice to USRA managers of educational programs. The council meets annually.
