The Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars (VASTS) program is an interactive online STEM learning experience, highlighted by a seven-day residential summer academy at NASA Langley Research Center. High school juniors and seniors selected to participate in the program are immersed in NASA-related research through interaction with scientists, engineers and technologists. Top performing students in the online course were selected to attend one of three residential summer academies hosted by Langley. A total of 485 students participated in the online course and 180 attended the three summer academies. The program is a partnership between the VSGC and NASA Langley with sponsorship from the Commonwealth of Virginia. VASTS is modeled after the NASA-award winning Texas Aerospace Scholars program developed by NASA Johnson Space Center.
