Designing for space, career exploration

When Saraliba Auch’s chemistry teacher told her about a program that involved space, she seized the opportunity. 

Auch applied, and was accepted into the Western Aerospace Scholars program administered through the University of Washington. The program offers a distance learning course that focuses on NASA and culminates in an opportunity to meet with NASA scientists, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) professionals and educators and university students. 

Despite COVID-19, Auch said that, so far, the in-person session is still on and will be held at Canyon Ferry in June.
