The NASA Center is the cornerstone for math & science initiatives that are supported by Estrella Mountain. In addition, the Center serves as a vital link for under-represented students as they successfully prepare for technical careers. Students, their families and other community members are welcomed into the Center through coordinated outreach efforts.
