[Promotion-technology] NASA Announces Opportunities for Students

[Mindy Lipsey]

Hi David-
My 10 year old is extremely interested in science!  He
attended Space Camp two years in a row and is
attending the local magnet middle school school next
year for the science magnet.  He is also a GT student.

I think Matthew will be very interested in pursuing
this competition, but I found a conflict in the
information sent via email.

The information below states the child must be in 5th
through 9th grade.
The link to the NASA website states 6th through 9th
grades.
My son is currently a 5th grader.  Can he apply??

Thanks!
Mindy
