The programs of the Education Office bring participants to JPL for periods of time ranging from a few days to ten weeks to two or three years. During their stay, most (but not all) of the participants are here not as JPL employees but as affiliates with the status of Fellows; their stipends are paid by a variety of sponsoring organizations and their purpose at JPL is to conduct research. Programs and activities for students and teachers to get involved with JPL through the Education Office are listed within Elementary and Secondary Education (K - 12), Higher Education, Minority Education, and Informal Education.
Other programs led by JPL's Human Resources Directorate bring participants to JPL as employees to conduct work for pay part-time or full-time for defined periods. For more information about the Academic Part-Time Program, the Cooperative Education Program, and the Summer Program, please go to the employment opportunities web site at http://careerlaunch.jpl.nasa.gov/.
Although it takes years, sometimes decades, for a mission to move from the germ of an idea through the collection and analysis of data, it is possible to take a walking tour of JPL and visit the spots where each part of a mission unfolds.
