and their families, that employs hands-on, inquiry-based activities and 
emphasizes the benefits of STEM literacy. This data collection will 
help to assess SEMAA project effectiveness and to provide data that can 
inform decisions made by NASA leadership and local sites about project 
modifications and implementation.

II. Method of Collection

    NASA will utilize a Web-based application form with instructions 
and other application materials also on-line. All data will be
