How Stuff Will Work In Space: 2016 Middle School WEBChallenge
In collaboration for the 4rd annual Middle School WEBChallenge, TAG-Ed, the Atlanta Science Festival and HowStuffWorks present: How Stuff Will Work...in Space! On Earth, we benefit from space exploration technology in our lives every day. "Space is everywhere you look," and technology from space exploration tracks back to our homes, cities and communities in places we may not recognize. From memory foam sneakers to flash drives, space exploration innovation has been moving our societies forward for decades. But what is next in space exploration? What exciting new technology being used in space will catapult our societies forward in the next 30-50 years? What problems that we face on Earth will be solved with emerging space exploration technology? These are the questions that students will answer though this exciting hands-on design competition. This competition engages Georgia middle school students with hands on design experience. Student teams strategically utilize technology to address the ways that our world will change drastically in the next twenty to thirty years. The WEBChallenge requires the teams to design a website that identifies a topic whose development over the next few decades will greatly impact our society. On this site, users can view the exciting and innovative content created by the Top 20 competing teams.
