NASA, White House advance Historically Black Scholar recognition

NASA and the Department of Education, in support of STEM and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives, are hosting a competition to engage students at HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), ultimately bringing diverse talent into the future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics pipeline. Modeled from another NASA STEM activity, students will participate in a Space Tank Pitch Competition hackathon in September at the National HBCU Week Conference in September.
