What is MU-SPIN? To help train the next generation of NASA's minority scientists and engineers, NASA created the Minority University-SPace Interdisciplinary Network (MU-SPIN). MU-SPIN was started in 1990 by the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs and has remained a highly effective tool as it has continually grown and evolved over the past decade. The program serves America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Tribal Colleges.

NASA has begun to recruit and select K-12 educators to join NASA's Astronaut Corps, supporting the Agency's education mission - "...to inspire the next generation of explorers...as only NASA can." NASA's vision is that K-12 educators can help NASA explore the bold frontiers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in ways never done before. NASA hopes these selected educators will become a direct connection to classrooms by sharing with their fellow educators and students the talents and disciplines necessary to make history,to break barriers, and to explore frontiers.
