FEF increases funding of Student Astronaut Challenge.  The Board of Trustees approved an increase of FEF’s funding of the Student Astronaut Challenge to $2500. This is the second year of FEF support of this student competition.  The challenge exists to engage students in science and engineering activities so they may view them as potential occupations while also providing teachers an instructional method for the development of team work and communication in a real world environment. The Challenge is jointly managed by the Florida Department of Education and Florida State University. The final competition will be held this year at the Kennedy Space Center.
