This day-long event brings together students, academics, NASA representatives, industry professionals, and many others working in space and NASA-related fields. This year’s speakers will bring their expertise on exploring Earth and beyond using open-source science.
The Symposium also celebrates student research from across North Carolina. In addition to speaker presentations, student poster presentations and lightning talks will be featured. To end the day, students are invited to participate in an open science workshop facilitated by NASA professionals.
Update March 13: The workshop is now full, but students can still begin their open science journey with NASA TOPS Open Science 101 curriculum. General registration is still open until March 15.
