NASA Engineering Design Challenge - Bring Space Into Your Classroom!

As NASA plans to return to the moon, plant growth will be an 
important part of space exploration. NASA scientists anticipate that 
astronauts may be able to grow plants on the moon in specialized 
plant growth chambers.  Come participate and build your own lunar 
growth chamber in the NASA Engineering Design Challenge!

Through the NASA Engineering Design Challenge, elementary, middle and 
high school students will:
* Design, build, and evaluate lunar plant growth chambers
* Receive cinnamon basils seeds flown on STS-118
* Test lunar growth chambers by growing and comparing both 
space-flown and earth-based control seeds

Visit http://www.nasa.gov/education/plantchallenge to register and to 
receive more information about the NASA Engineering Design Challenge. 
On this site you can also sign up for the NASA Express listserv to 
receive e-mail updates about the challenge and other NASA education 
activities.

Join the NASA Engineering Design Challenge and be part of space 
exploration by growing seeds flown in space!
