Nasa Wants Students To Imagine Leading A One Week Expedition On The Moon

The American Space Research organization, NASA, as we know, has been eyeing to get humans to land on the Moon for the second time since quite some time now. Earlier this year, we saw the organization hold a contest for the public to design a miniature payload for compact Moon rovers. Now, the researchers at NASA are inviting students around the world to imagine leading an expedition on our natural satellite for one week.

Calling all K-12 creative minds: Who would be your dream team to explore the Moon with? What would you take to help with your mission?

Now, according to the official post about the contest, the researchers at NASA want students, from Kindergarten to the 12th grade, to write an essay about leading a team of explorers on the lunar surface. In their essays, the participating children have to describe their whole team of explorers with all the nitty-gritty details like what their personalities are like and what qualities do they possess that will help the research expedition.

Participants of the contest will receive an official certificate from NASA and will be able to experience a NASA virtual event, that too featuring a real astronaut. Semifinalists will get a chance to represent their state or region in many Artemis Explorer sessions with NASA experts.
