Abstract
The focus of the NEBP is to broaden participation of STEM learners by immersing teams from a wide range of higher education institutions in an innovative NASA-mission-like adventure in data acquisition and analysis through scientific ballooning during the 10/14/2023 annular and 4/8/2024 total solar eclipses. NEBP will engage 85 teams in equitable, inclusive learning on two primary tracks: 1) atmospheric science and 2) engineering. Engaging 85 teams spread across the country will be a challenge. The teams will be from a variety of college types, the students will have different background knowledge levels, and the available mentoring will vary. To meet these challenges, the teams will be divided into ten geographic pods, five for each track. Each pod has a Pod Lead who will create a cohesive community with their 8-10 teams. This talk will describe how NEBP will engage the student participants, both at the pod level and nationally.
