NASA Ames Research Center, in conjunction with the National Space Society, sponsors an annual space settlement design contest for 6-12th grade students. Each spring students send their designs for homes in space for judging by NASA engineers and scientists. The contest has inspired thousands of students and helped hundreds of teachers bring the excitement of space settlement to the youth of America and the world!
This annual contest is for all students from anywhere in the world. Individuals, small teams of two to five, and large teams of six or more are judged separately. Entries are also grouped by age/grade of the oldest contestant for judging. The age groups are 7th and under, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th.
Submissions must be received by March 1.
For more information, complete contest rules, submission procedures, and links to previous award-winning projects, please visit NASA or the following links:
