Space Day Design Challenges

Teaching Pre K-8, Jan 2005

The exploration of Mars has ignited a desire to discover more about the universe. Capitalizing on this interest, the Lockheed Martin Corpora-tion has made "Return to the Moon" the theme of its Space Days Design Challenges 2005 program.

This inquiry based learning tool inspires young people to achieve academic excellence in science, math and technology, with an emphasis on collaborative learning.

There are three challenges for students to tackle this year. Each of the three design challenges are available for grades 4-5 and 6-8. Submissions are due by February 15, 2005.

Members of the winning teams and their teacher will be invited to the Space Day National Celebration on May 5, 2005 in Washington D.C.
