Popularity: 1% [?]
Overview This annual contest, co-sponsored by NASA Ames and the National Space Society (NSS) is for 6-12th graders (11-18 years old) from anywhere in the world. Individuals, small teams of two to six, and large teams of seven or more (often whole classrooms with teacher leadership) may enter. Grades 6-9 and 10-12 are judged separately, except for the grand prize. Students develop space settlement designs and related materials. These are sent to NASA Ames for judgement. Contest Results will be posted on this site on April 30. Contest prizes and certificates: All participants will receive a certificate. All submissions must be received by March 31. Contest results will be posted on this site on April 30. The best submission wins the grand prize, consisting of the space colony submission being placed on the NASA Ames World Wide Web site. All contest participants are invited to attend the NSS 29th annual International Space Development Conference in Chicago, Illinois, May 28-31, 2010. Special activities for contestants are planned, including: A reception for contestants, teachers, parents, etc. A tour of Kennedy Space Flight Center. All contestants who attend will be invited to display a poster of their work. The highest ranking winners attending will be invited to give an oral presentation. The highest scoring attending winner(s) will receive the NSS Student Space Settlement of the Year Award. Note that 85 contestants attended the ISDC 2009, along with their parents, teachers, siblings and friends. These activities are not yet finalized and may change. Nonetheless, this is a tremendous opportunity to present your work, meet some of the most important people in space development as well as your fellow contestants, and have a great time. If you plan to attend the conference, please contact nss-students@comcast.net. This is the contact for poster space instructions, oral presentation times, and all other contest-related conference issues. Note: Contestants are responsible for all travel arrangements, visas and conference expenses, including any fees associated with the reception and tour. Target group Students from outside of the U.S. planning on attending the ISDC should apply as soon as possible for a passport as it may take some time (months) to acquire one. Requests for letters of invitation should be sent to nss-students@comcast.net as early as possible along with the email address of the appropriate US Embassy. Contest categories are individual 6-8 grade, small group 6-8 grade, large group 6-8 grade, individual 9-10 grade, small group 9-10 grade, large group 9-10 grade, individual 11-12 grade, small group 11-12 grade, and large group 11-12 grade. An additional category based on artistic and literary merit is also included in the contest. There will be a special Life Support category this year. Entries with strength in life support and/or describe biology laboratories and experiments that take advantage of variable psuedo-gravity levels and the radiation environment inside space colonies will be considered for this category. Contestants give NASA the right to publish their submissions without restriction as a condition for entering the contest. Submission requirements The submission must be the student’s own work. Plagiarism is forbidden. You may quote short passages, but material copied from a source must be surrounded in double quotes (“) and the source indicated. For example: “This material copied from somewhere,” My Favorite Space Book. Copied materials should rarely be more than a few lines, and never longer than a few paragraphs. Quoting long passages is forbidden. Entries caught plagiarizing will be rejected and disposed of. In 2007, twelve entries were caught copying materials from the web. They were eliminated from the competition. Instructors, mentors or parents may assist the student in presenting relevant resources, discussing core concepts and editing, but the work itself, must be entirely student driven. Submissions must relate to orbital colonies. Colonies may not be on a planet or moon. Colonies must be permanent, relatively self-sufficient homes, not temporary work camps. If your entry is longer that 10-20 pages, consider including a one page executive summary on the best features of your entry. Be sure to include original ideas, major focus, and any parts particularly well done in the executive summary. This will help the judges find the best parts of your entry. Avoid including technical material not directly related to your space settlement. This is a space settlement contest and marginally related material will make it difficult for the judges. If they can’t find your space settlement elements easily you won’t score well. If you have a large, extensive entry, include a one-page summary of the highlights of your work. This will help the judges. Submissions must be made in hard copy. No electronic submissions are accepted under any circumstances. This includes Power Point presentations, discs, CD’s, DVD, videos or anything but paper. NASA does not return contestant submissions. An entry form with the appropriate information must be included with the submission. Fill out all fields unless you are not part of a school class. In this case, leave out the teacher and school information. Designs, essays, stories, models, artwork and any other orbital space settlement materials will be considered. Always include a bibliography. Submission Use on line contest entry form and send hard copy of your work to: Wenonah Vercoutere MS 236-7 NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA 94035 Submission must be receieved by March 31, 2010. Teachers using the contest in their class should submit all projects together. Note: electronic submission is not allowed, only hard copy.
