Another cool opportunity for American Students =]

NASA has selected teams of middle school and high school students to test their science experiments in microgravity conditions that simulate the microgravity in space.
High school students will participate in "Dropping In a Microgravity Environment," and students in sixth through ninth grades in "What If No Gravity?".Students are challenged to design and build a microgravity science experiment that is tested in a 2.2 second drop tower at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. While in free fall, the students' experiments will experience microgravity conditions, as if they were on the International Space Station. These and other NASA educational programs help the agency attract and retain students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, disciplines critical to space exploration.
