NASA Inspires Artemis Generation Coders from Hutchinson Central Technical High School
Buffalo Students from Hutch Tech High School in New York are participating in NASA’s App Development Challenge (ADC). The ADC, one of eight Artemis Student Challenges, presents students with technical problems seeking their contributions to deep space exploration missions.
Led by the Johnson Space Center’s Office of STEM Engagement in Houston, NASA’s App Development Challenge is part of the agency’s Next Gen STEM Project. #NextGenSTEM and #NASA_ADC
This year’s ADC asks student teams to research and design an application to visualize the flight path of the Artemis II space mission while showing the antennas which allow communication between earth and the satellite. The Artemis II mission is an attempt to bring astronauts on a rocket to venture around the moon to establish a future long-term presence on the moon.
NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation program, or SCaN, serves as the Program Office for all of NASA’s space communications activities. SCaN operates the Near Space Network and Deep Space Network, providing communications services enabling NASA’s missions.
Throughout the 10-week challenge, occurring Oct. 2 - Dec. 11, 2024, students will have the opportunity to interact, learn and be inspired by NASA coders and engineers through four live virtual events and weekly office hours. NASA scientists and engineers will review student video submissions and interview selected teams. After the interviews, NASA will select top teams for a multiday culminating event at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
By joining in the ADC, these Artemis II - NASA students from Hutch Tech High School are participating in NASA’s endeavors to establish future long-term presence on the moon for science and exploration.
