Oregon Space Grant Consortium
Oregon Space Science Education Program

Programs implemented under the Oregon Native Launch Program are now delivered under the Oregon Space Science Education Program, OSSEP by the OSSEP specialist. OSSEP engages K-12 students from the Tribal communities in NASA-related aerospace activities. OSSEP provides a series of activities to engage students with introductory experiences and a progression of experiences designed to deepen student engagement and understanding of aerospace hardware and space science. Eleven programs with a variety of topics including Mars, Astronauts, Astronomy, Rocketry, UAV/Drones, Robotics, and the Eclipse are available. The program is currently under development; supplies were purchased and toolkits were assembled in preparation for workshops. A website was set up to schedule the OSSEPs to conduct workshops and activities. The program is slotted to become active in 2019.
