A new feature for the OLC this year will be our INSPIRE blog. Many of you are familiar with blogs, and some of you may even have your own blog! Ours will be a little different in that each week we will have a post provided by a different contributor from the NASA family. These contributing authors will write about their work, experiences, and the people that inspired them. Some blogs may offer a glimpse into the inner workings of NASA, while others may be motivational.
Another feature of blogs is the ability to comment on shared information. After each OLC post, there will be a link back to the Discussion Board where you can leave a comment or ask a question. Since our contributors are not part of the OLC, we will collect questions and forward them to our contributors for replies to be posted later.
We are looking all over NASA for people who can contribute to our blog, including some of the mentors that worked with students during the Summer STEM Experiences. We hope the INSPIRE blog will be an interesting and personal way to learn more what goes on at NASA.
