The NASA Summer of Innovation (SoI)Project will engage and support external partners in the delivery of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) opportunities to youth in underrepresented populations. The intent is to increase interest and participation in STEM. This information collection pertains to the administration of parent surveys, youth surveys, and teach focus groups. The data collected will enable NASA to (1) evaluate the program model for improvement opportunities, and (2) collect outcome data to assess the project's effectiveness in meeting the intended objectives. Surveys are designed to obtain the minimum information required to meet study objectives.
This data collection combines 2700-0150 and 2700-0151. SoI 2013 represents a change in the frequency and method of collection, and a reduction in the burden to the public, and a reduction in the cost to the federal government. The focus has been narrowed to rising 6th-8th grade students participating in stand-alone SoI camps.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
