On March 21, the U.S. Department of Education launched the “Your Place in Space Challenge,” which urges high school students to imagine and pursue innovative careers across the space industry. This is the first in the Department of Education’s #CTEMomentum challenge series. This annual series will help prepare students for in-demand careers and boost access to innovative CTE programs.
High schools are invited to submit designs for a product or service that will contribute to space missions and exploration. Student teams may pursue designs of their choice or find inspiration from one of four suggested areas of exploration: space debris, the International Space Station, space travel and the environment.
Submissions are due by 6:00 p.m. ET on October 30, 2023. Ten winners will be announced in early 2024.
