Fit Explorer, Train like an Astronaut
Summary
NASA education opportunities provide students an enhanced understanding of science, technology, engineering and mathematics STEM. Program Summary: The NASA Fit Explorer FE gives students an opportunity to “train like an astronaut”. Students participate in hands-on activities modeled after the real-life requirements of astronauts, which gives them an understanding of the science behind nutrition and physical fitness. This has become a global initiative. Objective: Students will increase their appreciation for physical activity and nutrition on Earth and in space. Time Frame: Participating countries will select their challenge site by Summer 2010. The program challenge will occur in Spring 2011 for a 6-week period. Application: When students experience physical fitness and nutrition according to space exploration requirements, they will understand the importance of their health on Earth.
