Bringing NASA Technology into the Classroom

At Technology Transfer University (T2U), we're bringing real-world, NASA-proven technologies into the classroom. Business students creating market assessments and business plans can now hone their abilities by working with our high-tech patent portfolio. They also receive access to the NASA scientists and innovators, giving them a unique look into the fine-grained details of the technology they are working on.

Through the T2U program, NASA field centers across the country engage business schools and hundreds of students each year. We are educating young entrepreneurs, tomorrow's industry leaders, about the benefits of using federal government research and development assets in commercial applications.

The program has already generated a successful license and new commercial product. Click here to read about Juntura Group, a startup company formed by business school students who are currently licensing a NASA-patented sensor originally developed to inspect windows on the space shuttle.
