NASA MINDS
NASA MINDS is a multi-semester collegiate learning experience that supports NASA’s Artemis mission and Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, funded by the Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP). Students’ skills, creativity and innovation are challenged as they are asked to design and build technologies needed for NASA’s Artemis mission, with the support of their faculty.

NASA-RMC: Lunabotics
Lone Star College-CyFair students participated in the NASA Robotics Mining Competition: Lunabotics during 2021-22 academic year. The annual Lunabotics competition is a full-on engineering exercise where students receive practical experience in the full engineering lifecycle from concept development to system closeout. In this project the students have to design, build, program and operate a robot from scratch. Mentored by Dr. Nina Javaher (Nina.Javaher@lonestar.edu), the team qualified and traveled to Kennedy Space Center to participate in the competition and won special recognition: Perseverance Award!
