Next Level Devils is an organization of Space Enthusiasts and Engineers focused around participating in NASA student challenges. As these challenges involve developing thoroughly-conceived solutions to genuine problems NASA faces, they require an interdisciplinary effort, so all are welcome!
Our mission is to bring members to the “Next Level” by exposing them to interdisciplinary technical experience, by promoting leadership development, and by creating industry relations; thus shaping them into supremely capable and confident members of the Space Industry.
