Welcome! Congratulations on being part of NASA’s Summer of Innovation. Students who attend this program during summer 2011 are being asked to complete this survey. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers to any of the questions. Your opinion is what is wanted. We estimate that it will take about 10 minutes to complete the questions. Thank you very much for your help!

NASA’s Office of Education, and the researchers at Abt Associates and Education Development Center, follow strict rules to make sure that only they will see your answers to this and future surveys for this program, except as required by law. No report will use your name or describe you in any way that could identify you.

If you want to participate in this special study, please turn the page to start answering questions.













Paperwork Reduction Act Statement - This information collection meets the requirements of 44 U.S.C. § 3507, as amended by section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You do not need to answer these questions unless we display a valid Office of Management and Budget control number. We estimate that it will take about 10 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts, and answer the questions. You can find additional information on this program at http://www.nasa.gov/offices/education/programs/national/summer/home/index.html. You may send comments on our time estimate above to: NASASummerofInnovation@abtassoc.com. Please send only comments relating to our time estimate to this address, not the completed form.
