Our Partnership

It all started with two questions:

- What are the skills that the Mars generation need to successfully colonize Mars?

- How can Murrow effectively combine its talented and diverse student body, dedicated educators, course offerings and unique facilities to educate the next generation of NASA scientists, engineers and space explorers?

A NASA/Murrow partnership will provide the necessary components to begin this journey.

The Murrow Way!

  • Edward R. Murrow High Schools is blessed with culturally diverse and talented students, dedicated, caring and knowledgeable educators and unique scientific and research facilities.
  • Murrow prides itself in offering a college like environment and the ability for students to make their own choices in selecting their coursework and find their hidden talents.
  • As with other programs, the Space Science Academy will encourage students to explore and select courses from different tracks in order to fulfil their desired goals.
  • We strive to offer the best possible learning experience in educating our future scientists, engineers and space explores.

“Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious, and however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.” Stephen Hawking
