Why HUNCH? đ
Because big dreams deserve real opportunities.
High school students in the NASA HUNCH program arenât just learning about space â theyâre designing, building, and creating projects that could one day support astronauts beyond Earth. đâ¨
Their passion. Their creativity. Their innovation.
This is how the next generation of space exploration begins!

Meet Luke Becker â the driving force behind NASA HUNCH in Minnesota.
For years, Luke has been opening doors for students, giving them the chance to design, build, and innovate for real NASA missions. His passion for handsâon learning has turned our workshop into a launchpad where students discover what theyâre capable of.
This series will highlight the people, projects, and purpose behind NASA HUNCH at Hennepin â starting with the leader who makes it all possible.

NASA HUNCH is at Hennepin Healthcare!
Weâre honored to host the 2026 NASA HUNCH Final Poster Presentations on February 26â27 right here at Hennepin down the hall from our Simulation Center.
Students from across the region will be sharing the prototypes, research, and biomedical innovations theyâve spent the year developing â and we couldnât be more excited to cheer them on!
For the past several years, our team has partnered with the NASA HUNCH program to give students handsâon experiences in clinical environments. From exploring medical devices to practicing skills on simulation equipment, these young innovators get a glimpse into the world of healthcare, engineering, and humanâspaceflight problemâsolving.
Why HUNCH matters:
NASA HUNCH (High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware) empowers students to design, build, and present solutions for real NASA needs â from biomedical tools to food science, engineering prototypes, and missionâsupport concepts.
Programs like this help students see themselves in STEM fields early, build confidence, and connect classroom learning to realâworld impact.
Weâre proud to support the next generation of thinkers, makers, and problemâsolvers â the ones who may one day shape the future of human health and human spaceflight.
And keep an eye out â weâll be sharing more highlights, student stories, and behindâtheâscenes moments throughout the week!

Rare cases. Real stakes. Zero room for hesitation. đ¨đ§Şđś
In our simulation center, our toxicology residents step into high-risk pediatric scenarios that most clinicians may only see once in a career â but when they happen, preparation makes all the difference.
From rapid assessment to antidote decisions and family communication, we train for the moments that canât be practiced for the first time at the bedside. đĽâď¸
Because when it comes to kids, rare doesnât mean never. It means be ready. đ
