Announcing NASA’s\u00a0TechRise\u00a0Student Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

NASA is initiating a new competition for the 2021\/2022 school year, asking student teams to design, build, and launch experiments on suborbital rockets and balloon flights.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The\u00a0NASA\u00a0TechRise\u00a0Student Challenge<\/a>\u00a0will start accepting entries August 18, 2021. Teams of sixth to 12th-grade\u00a0students from\u00a0U.S. public, private, or charter schools\u00a0can\u00a0submit ideas for climate or remote-sensing experiments to fly on a high-altitude balloon, and space exploration experiments to fly aboard a suborbital rocket. Competition winners will receive $1,500 to build their payloads and an assigned spot on a NASA-sponsored commercial suborbital flight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Resources for Educators<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

NASA and Future Engineers, the challenge administrator, will offer a series of virtual events for educators to hear from NASA experts and learn more about this exciting opportunity for students.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
