Space Week Challenge 2022


The project work submitted should include the work done in each of the four STEAM Academy challenges “Challenge Directions: Do/Reflect/Apply” section along with an answer to at least one of the overall questions:


Why do we need to sustain our space in the orbits around Earth?


When you think of the future of space – traveling to the moon and other planets, living and working in outer-space — what might be some problems that we could encounter?


What ideas do you have to solve those problems? What are some ways that we can take care of outer space so that all can enjoy it for years to come?


The answer can be a poem, a story, an essay, a video, a song, or any other format that helps the youth get their answer across to the judges. Participating groups can provide on answer or have each participating youth answer. (photo release form required for photos that include student faces)
