Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS)

Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) is pleased to announce that Haegyung Han, Woodinville High School, successfully completed the WAS Phase One curriculum and qualified to participate in the competitive Phase Two – the WAS Summer Residency.

WAS is designed to connect high school juniors with educational and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through independent learning, hands-on interaction, professional guidance, and site-based tours. Since 2006, over 1,900 students have successfully completed the program and 67% reported being in a STEM career pathway.  

In October 2021, along with almost 200 others, Haegyung Han began Phase One, a five-month course consisting of eight NASA and University of Washington designed lessons. While successful completion of the curriculum can earn the students 5 UW credits in Earth and Space Science; the ultimate prize is securing a spot in Phase Two— the Summer Residency.  

This summer, scholars will be presenting their design for a human mission to Mars. In each session, four student teams will cooperate to plan a human mission to Mars with support from professional engineers/scientists, university students, and certificated educators. Additionally, participants receive briefings from aerospace professionals, tour engineering facilities, and compete in hands-on engineering challenges.  

Who will be next?

Student and teacher applications for the 2022-23 program year will be available starting in Fall of 2022. Be the first to know by filling out an interest form at www.museumofflight.org/was. The online course will begin in late October and participants must be high school juniors and residents of Washington state. There is no cost for participation in WAS Phase One!

Northshore Schools Foundation: Request for Removing Barriers Support

Basic Needs Aid
When a family is in crisis and normal household activities are disrupted, students experience distress that affects their attendance, coursework and classroom behavior. NSF's Basic Needs Aid Fund allows families to stock up on groceries or fill the car with fuel so that they can direct their energy where it is most needed: finding a permanent solution to the situation at hand (https://www.northshoreschoolsfoundation.org/request-support/#basicneedsaid).

Apply for Funds

For WHS students, contact Counselor and CARE Team member Sarah Brenner at sbrenner@nsd.org and/or your student’s school counselor or grade-level administrator to describe the temporary challenge or circumstance and request support. All NSF funding requests must come from an approved school staff member.

The NSD staff member will then submit your request.

Foundation leadership will review the request within 5 days and contact the NSD staff that submitted the request with details.
