Consider integrating NASA contests and learning opportunities into classroom environments.  Students are intrigued by Science Fiction movies like Star Wars, Planet 51, WALL-E and Star Trek.  Use their enthusiasm for Science Fiction to do real STEM education.

WASHINGTON ‹ Engineering students worried about their job prospects and
looking to expand their design experience may want to consider a NASA
internship program.
 
The assignment? Design a lunar habitat for future astronauts.
 
The space agency announced on Friday (Dec. 4) that is seeking engineering
students to help design new technologies that will be needed to establish a
manned lunar base. Top candidates will be offered paid internships with
NASA's Exploration Technology Development Program.
 
NASA said engineering students should submit a "notice of intent to enter"
the internship contest by Dec. 15. See entry details here.
