The Your Place in Space Challenge is a CTE Momentum challenge to create new solutions for space. The U.S. Department of Education invites high schools to submit entries that demonstrate a product or service that will contribute to space missions and exploration. This challenge seeks to accomplish the following:
Create engaging learning opportunities for students to explore the challenges and opportunities in space missions.
Connect CTE programs with a wide variety of space careers.
Inspire students to envision and pursue space careers.
Teams will submit designs for a product or service that advances space missions and exploration. Possible designs may include but are not limited to:
A solution for a space-related problem of your choice. Get creative!
An approach that will help address the problem of space debris.
A device that benefits workers on the International Space Station.
A restaurant, hotel, or entertainment concept for space travelers.
An app that uses data captured from space to support an environmental effort.
