Experiments
HUNCH Programs
• Students participate in a team experience that allows for practice of 21st century skills.
• Students are more actively engaged in hands-on learning
• Students gain a deeper understanding of their subject areas because they are applying their knowledge
• Students have an opportunity to work on significant real world problems
• Students attendance is improved and standardized test scores can improve

HUNCH Extreme Science Microgravity Program Partnerships
• Partnership between Academia, Industry, and NASA to promote STEM education
• Schools provide a safe working environment as well as a supportive teacher
• Universities provide equipment and mentors• Industry provide equipment, mentors and funding • NASA provides the real world tasks, mentors,
supplies and possibly the aircraft evaluation
How to Join HUNCH • Teacher writes a Statement of Work (SOW)• Rubric is used by HUNCH project manager to
evaluate SOW• When accepted a Space Act Agreement (SAA)
