What the grant funds
American Center New Delhi (ACND) seeks to establish a Space Experiential Learning Center. The center will operate by utilizing state-of-the-art space-related equipment and well-planned and resourced experiences, while offering a program which promotes capacity building through the acquisition of basic science knowledge, astronomy, and focused space science education for 60 aspiring space enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds throughout North India. The program will last approximately one year, with an objective to help selected youth develop a deeper understanding of space science application. The program will consist of classroom sessions at ACND related to space science education and supplemented by field excursions to conduct hands-on exploration and experimentation. The envisioned program seeks to build upon the deepening ties between the United States and India in critical technology fields, space exploration, and existing educational exchange efforts. This NOFO seeks proposals for operating the space experiential learning program and center at ACND. The required infrastructure (space science-related equipment, physical space, etc.) to manage and create experiences will be provided by ACND.
