Life and Work on the Moon
An art and design contest sponsored by NASA that invites high school and college students to submit their work on the theme “Life and Work on the Moon”. Artists/designers are encouraged to collaborate with science and engineering students. Such collaboration is not required, but would help to ensure that the art is valid for [...]
Thacher Scholar Award
A contest for secondary school students (grades 9-12) demonstrating, via a written report, the best use of geospatial technologies or data to study Earth. Eligible geospatial tools and data include satellite remote sensing, aerial photography, geographic information systems (GIS), and Global Positioning System (GPS). Geospatial technologies and data have numerous uses in science [...]
NASA/NSS Space Settlement Contest
Space settlement needs inexpensive, safe launch systems to deliver thousands, perhaps millions, of people into orbit. Sponsored by NASA Ames Research Center in conjunction with the National Space Society, each spring students (6-12th grade) send their designs for homes in space for judging by NASA engineers and scientists. Individuals, small teams of two to six, and large teams [...]
