Calling all early career professionals!

Are you working at a NASA center, employed as a NASA contractor, a recent graduate, or an early career professional working in ? Are you interested in gaining valuable industry skills through a hands-on virtual environment?

If this is you, we'd like to invite you to apply to the NASA Proposal Writing & Evaluation Experience (NPWEE)! In NPWEE, you'll gain experience in interdisciplinary teaming and communication as you work together with a diverse team to explore the NASA proposal writing process. Along the way, you'll learn how to craft a high-quality, professional proposal from real industry professionals and have the opportunity to earn a Siemens NX CAD certification. In the final weeks of the academy, you will take part in a NASA proposal review board - an experience that typically does not occur until much later in one's career!

OH, YEAH, there's just one more thing: Your team will be competing for a $10,000 team prize awarded by NASA!

Are you ready to level up? Join the NASA L'SPACE Program today! Applications and additional information can be found at www.LSPACE.asu.edu.
