As a dynamic team comprised of NASA, contractor, and community representatives, Team NASA builds a seamless partnership with the Johnson Space Center (JSC) to enhance the Center’s events and overall goals. The team has consistently met this challenge through providing coordinated planning, organization, and communication for the successful implementation of various JSC initiatives.
Additionally, and in an effort to better support JSC’s education outreach initiatives, Team NASA formed an education subcommittee in 2007 to enhance and strengthen JSC-approved education outreach related projects primarily geared towards engaging young students in math, science and engineering disciplines. The committee also supports programs aimed at promoting teacher development goals with the intent to reach an even larger student population and positively impact “tomorrow’s workforce”.
To further support these goals, Team NASA launched "My Rocket Scientist", an interactive Web site featuring the mentoring and tutoring volunteer opportunities available at area schools, shelters and special events. The site includes event background, time and location, and contact information. All in the community are welcomed and encouraged to visit this site often to volunteer their time and talent at one or more of the featured opportunities!

- Mike’s Madness
- Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Trailriders’ Breakfast
- Houston A+ Challenge
- JSC Chili Cook-off
