Science & Inventions
 
"Engineering Design Challenges"
offers students the chance to tackle
challenges faced by NASA engineers who are
developing the next generation of aerospace
vehicles. The challenges: thermal protection
systems, spacecraft structures, electrodynamic
propulsion systems, propellers, & personal
satellite assistants. Students design,
build, test, re-design, & re-build models that
meet specified design criteria, using the same
analytical skills as engineers. (NASA)

"Origins"
lets us look over the shoulders of scientists
& glimpse the often-unseen moments of
investigation. Take "virtual field trips" to
eight observatories -- Arecibo, where
astrobiologists search for signs of life
beyond the solar system; Las Cuevas, a
research station in Central America's largest
remaining rainforest; & others. See
interviews, photos, & broadcasts that explore
the origins of matter, the universe, & life
itself. (NSF)
