What If? Competition

Are you a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader (or ages 10-14)?

Do you want to win some seriously cool prizes?

Is science your favorite class, or do you think space, NASA, and astronauts like Anousheh Ansari are made of awesome?

Then enter the What If? Student Essay Competition! Just you or you and a friend who's also in 6th-8th grade (oh, and you'll need an adult sponsor too) can write an essay for a chance to win a trip to California to the Conrad Innovation Summit. This year's essay topic is for you to use your innovative imagination to describe how living on an orbiting space station could benefit humanity as a step toward building colonies on the Moon or Mars. So, if your mind is already working faster than the speed of light (or even better, faster than Stephen Hawking working a high school physics problem), what are you waiting for?! Essays are due Friday, Feburary 13, 2009.

For more info, including rules and more essay topic details, check it out online @ http://whatifprize.org/competition/, and as always, let us know if you or your team wins!

See you @ the library!
