missions dependsheavily on advances in the nation’s technology base.Previous WorkThe precursor for the “Landsharks to Astronauts” program was the “Heads in the Game” programfor STEM Outreach, Research and Education [19]. Heads in the Game was an innovative, first ofits kind program for Athletics and STEM education. Sixteen scholars, including 6 girls and 9 fromhigh schools representing impoverished areas, learned coding, biomedical engineering, and healthand sports performance skills. The objective of the program was to leverage the growing awarenessof concussions in athletics with the passion for sports in Mississippi to motivate and inspire youthin STEM fields, and create a culture of awareness of STEM opportunities in the scholar’scommunity
