Teachers Can Apply for FREE NASA Moon Tree Seedlings!
Attention educators, you do NOT want to miss this awesome opportunity!
NASA’s Next Gen STEM project in partnership with USDA Forest Service is offering K-12 organizations located in the contiguous United States an opportunity to apply to own their very own Moon Tree seedling!
What is a Moon Tree seedling?
Nearly 2,000 tree seeds traveled to the moon and back to Earth aboard the Artemis I, Orion space capsule. And now, education and community organizations are invited to submit a proposal for an Artemis Moon Tree Seedling through NASA’s Artifacts Module Program.
Visit NASA’s Artifact Module website to begin the process of applying for a seedling by creating an account. Note that you must create a NASA Guest Account if you have a non-NASA Identity. Potential recipients will need to register through NASA Gateway and NASA CONNECTS.
The Moon Trees team and USDA Forest Service will review your application to determine the viability of successfully hosting a seedling. You will not be able to select the species of tree seedling, the Forest Service will decide based on your geographical region.
