NASA has launched a new Web site created specifically for teenagers that provides teens access to current NASA spacecraft data for use in school science projects, allows them to conduct real experiments with NASA scientists, and helps them locate space-related summer internships.

How ageist!  We oldies want a slice of the action!

A slice is all we can manage...

Space-related summer internships for teenagers?  What a good idea.  I can think of a number of teenagers who need a rocket up them.  There again, I can also think of a number who are already on a different planet.

Perhaps NASA has been secretly trialling this project already .

I've supervised a number of students at UoB he come for their work experience. Always good fun.. its a shame that we can't afford to run a large scheme for the whole of the summer - you'd be surprised what you can get done
