Heading text
NASA RealWorld & InWorld Engineering Design Challenge is
Overview:
The RealWorld-InWorld NASA Engineering Design Challenge encourages students in grades 9-12 to explore and to build skills for successful careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through two phases of project-based learning and team competition.
Phase 1: RealWorld
Who:
Teachers/Coaches and high-school-aged students
What:
Work cooperatively as engineers and scientists to explore and design solutions for one of two real-world problems related to the James Webb Space Telescope
Submitted final project solutions will be featured on the RealWorld-InWorld website and teams will recieve recognition for their work.
Phase 2: InWorld
Who:
Participating college students select teams of 3-5 high-school-aged students and their teacher/coach. Each team selects a participating engineering mentor.
What:
Work in a 3D virtual environment using 21st Century tools to refine designs and to create 3D models of the Webb Telescope. Webb engineers will visit and "chat" InWorld throughout the challenge.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).</ref>
