NASA is launching a new program to get students involved in the exploration of space. The program, called “Moon to Mars: Student Ideas and Innovation Challenge”, will take student ideas from around the world and turn them into real-life projects. NASA is looking for innovative ideas in three categories: Robotics, In-Situ Resource Utilization, and Human and Robotic Exploration.

In an effort to inspire the next generation of space explorers, NASA has opened up the challenge to students of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you’re a middle schooler with an idea for a lunar experiment or a college student with a plan for a robotic mission to Mars, NASA wants to hear your ideas. Working with partner organizations, NASA will select the most innovative and inspiring ideas and give students the opportunity to collaborate with experts from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the International Space Station, and other organizations to bring their ideas to life.
