Are you a high school teacher looking to incorporate real world engineering design solutions into your classroom? Join our design challenge! Visit the Real
World/In World NASA Engineering Design Challenge website ((http://www.nasarealworldinworld.org/)) to learn more!
Students will try to answer one of these two questions relating to the Webb telescope:
■How can you design a shield to protect the Webb telescope?
■How can you deliver the Webb telescope to space using existing rocket technology?
Coaches and students who submit their final RealWorld project solutions by December 15, 2010, are eligible to move to the InWorld phase to compete for scholarships and technology awards.
[ED. NOTE: I'm always looking for a way to expand my use of water bottle rocketry in the classroom, so seeing that one of the challenges is to use existing rocket tech to deliver the Webb telescope to orbit seems like it has potential for this school year.]
