Junior Jason Gruber recently got accepted for the SAAS NASA Internship, where he will be partnering with NASA and University of Texas to conduct Earth and space research. The internship will include interpreting NASA satellite data while working alongside scientists and engineers. Gruber is the first student to be working at NASA from Stockbridge as a high schooler.
“It’s an honor to be working at NASA as a junior in high school,” junior Jason Gruber said. “I cannot wait to see how many doors it will open for me in the future.”
Gruber has previously been a part of several stem projects such as FTC/FRC robotics, special projects lab, Qualcomm Thinkabit lab U of M, AGU and SmallSat conference Kennedy space center. These projects have set him apart from other candidates, giving him a higher chance of receiving this internship.
“I think it’s pretty amazing,” teacher Robert Richards said. “I’m proud of him for getting accepted, but I knew he would.”
