WSGC Mission

The mission of NASA’s Space Grant Program is to contribute to the nation’s science enterprise by funding education, research, and informal education projects through a national network of university-based Space Grant consortia.

The Space Grant Program works to:

• Encourage cooperative programs among universities, the aerospace industry, and federal, state, and local governments.
• Encourage interdisciplinary training, research, and public service programs related to aeronautics, space science, and technology.
• Recruit and train professionals for careers in aerospace-related fields.
• Develop a strong science, mathematics, and technology education base from elementary through university levels.

The mission of the WSGC is to use the excitement and vision of space and aerospace science to equip the citizens of Wisconsin with the math, science, and technology tools they need to thrive in the 21st century.
