About MUREP 3.0 

The MUREP Aerospace Academy is a collaborative effort between Tennessee State University and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).  The program has had great success serving students in K-8^th  grades.  The program is now expanding to include high school students in middle Tennessee. The goals of the project are to inspire, engage, and educate students and their families about the infinite possibilities in STEM degrees and careers.

Specifically, high school students are encouraged to: 1) pursue their interest in STEM post-secondary degrees and careers, 2) engage in STEM experiential learning experiences utilizing technology, and 3) Increase high school students’ and their families’ knowledge and awareness of STEM internships, degrees, careers, and professional skills. 

The goals of the MUREP 3.0 project are to:

1) Inspire underserved and underrepresented high school students to pursue their interest in STEM post-secondary degrees and careers,

2) Engage underserved and underrepresented students in STEM experiential learning experiences utilizing technology to develop their STEM identity, skills, and knowledge,

3) Educate students by utilizing culturally relevant STEM curricula and effective evidence-based strategies designed by NASA and other leading STEM professionals, and

 4) Increase high school students’ and their families’ knowledge and awareness of STEM internships, degrees, careers, and professional skills.

Key strategies to reach the proposed goals include multi-faceted initiatives, such as:

• Experiential Learning Experiences,
• Aerospace Education Laboratory (AEL),
• Engagement with STEM professionals,
• College and Career Readiness,
• Family Empowerment Sessions, and
• STEM Professional Development.
