NESSP: Northwest Earth & Space Sciences Pipeline announce ANGLeS<https://nwessp.org/apollo50/about/> program:

     *   Great opportunity to reach that tween/teen age group -  Idea is to have teams made up of grades 5-12
     *   Do not have to be in a "hub" state to participate
     *   Do not have to do all the challenges. Could just do the designing a patch challenge.
     *   They are working on getting funding for those who want to participate.  Great way of libraries and schools to combine for a summer program
     *   More info found here: https://nwessp.org/apollo50/about/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnwessp.org%2Fapollo50%2Fabout%2F&data=02%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7C769a699c43c64d6e2c4408d69e6011fe%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C1%7C636870533964604739&sdata=lQENLnwvqT6r8I9UAeKdBz5MTnqlskf4iVnMmHmlMTA%3D&reserved=0>
