Aerospace Education Services Project (ASEP)

AESP: Aerospace Education Services Project

AESP is NASA's longest running K-12 educational project. AESP connects America's space agency with K-12 education throughout the United States. Penn State University is NASA's lead higher education partner for AESP.

AESP education specialists are experienced educators who are broadly knowledgeable about NASA's missions, programs, and educational resources. Education specialists visit schools to deliver teacher professional development and in-class programming in subjects relevant to NASA's missions. AESP is unique as a STEM education project that works "on the ground" in all 50 states and U.S. territories.

To request a school visit or other custom program by an AESP specialist from one of NASA's ten centers, complete this online form. Please note that if you are a teacher, you'll need to obtain approval from an appropriate school administrator first. If you would like to check on the status of a request or make a change in a request, please contact the Project Coordinator in your region. Alternatively, you may call the AESP office at Penn State University (814-863-5237), 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. EST and we will assist you.

If you are interested in partnering with AESP to extend the impact of your own work in space-related education, please contact the Deputy Director Keith Duclos (kfd1@psu.edu, 814-863-9614) or NASA AESP Manager Michelle Ferebee (michelle.t.ferebee@nasa.gov, 757-864-5617). AESP is committed to supporting other NASA and non-NASA projects to help strengthen precollege teaching and learning.
