I have two students, Sara Lu and Diego Roura, who have been working on software projects for two years, and these projects won the NASA HUNCH Engineering and Software Fair for two years. The students have been able to present their software projects to NASA engineers and astronauts at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The first year, they offered a research project, "Applying Artificial Intelligence for Psychological Evaluation," using Machine Learning, and this year, they developed an AI-Software-Server farm programming in Python. QuarkNet-IRIS-HEP's Python programming workshops have impacted students in CROEM Robotics courses for two consecutive years.

Here are Sara and Diego at Houston Space Center:
