Project Coordinator

Overview

LMI is seeking an Project Coordinator II to support NASA’s workforce experience activities for students in community college with a STEM focus. This role will provide critical administrative and project coordination support to the NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) program, helping to manage project operations and ensuring smooth and effective program execution. NCAS is a STEM engagement activity for community college students seeking to transfer to a 4-year institution or go directly to the labor force. NCAS uses NASA’s unique expertise, research, facilities, and other resources in the area of aerospace to engage students inauthentic and experiential learning experiences. Three consecutive mission opportunities are offered alongside an opportunity to apply for a paid internship. NCAS also partners with Minority Serving Institutions enabling them to engage students in similar experiences that are scaled to the institutions’ STEM networks. This position requires the ability to obtain a public trust clearance.  

Mission 1: Discover allows students to participate in a 5-week, self-paced online course, where they learn about NASA missions, research, and goals.

Mission 2: Explore allows students to participate in one of two educational simulations. The simulations help students practice and improve their knowledge while having fun.

Mission 3: Innovate allows students to participate in an engineering design challenge: robotics competition or capstone project; participating students will be hosted onsite for a week at an NCAS partner institution or a NASA field center.
