LeBlanc Foundation to administer NASA ASTRO CAMP Collaborative Partner Programs

The LeBlanc Foundation is one of two organizations in the state of Alabama that have met partner requirements to become NASA ASTRO CAMP Collaborative Partners. We will highlight several areas of interest from multiple programs. The Artemis program is focused on landing the next man and first woman on the moon by 2025. The lunar south pole is the target of the exploration. After the first phases of the mission, NASA will enter the second phase of establishing sustainable missions by 2028. To do that, they will need a powerful Space Launch System to put the mass of reusable systems into deep space!!

The ASTRO CAMP Community Partners Program strives to provide trained community facilitators for all students to have access to authentic NASA Science experiences, ASTRO CAMP methodology and current activities aligned to Next Generation Science Standards, engineering challenges, and NASA resources highly focused to reach into under-served and under-represented communities. NASA’s ASTRO CAMP brings real-world opportunities for every student to join and contribute to NASA’s Science Missions, enhancing understandings through powerful science career connections, inspiring life-long learners for NASA’s future science teams continuing on the journey to explore our universe.
