The NASA Explorer Schools (NES) program establishes a three-year partnership between NASA and 50 school teams, consisting of teachers and education administrators from diverse communities across the country.

While partnered with NASA, NES teams will acquire and use new teaching resources and technology tools for grades 4-9 using NASA's unique content, experts and other resources. Schools in the program are eligible to receive up to $17,500 (pending continued funding) over the three-year period to purchase technology tools that support science and mathematics instruction.
