Here’s a spark of inspiration to start your exploration of this year’s challenges:

• Have you dreamed of visiting far-off planets?Exploring Venus Together asks teams to design a system that can power a surface lander or rover on Venus for at least 60 days.
• Interested in life on Mars? Teams working on Outfitting a Mars Habitat – A 3D Print Challenge will imagine landing on Mars with 3D printers as the only items available to sustain survival.
• Looking for a youth-friendly challenge? Build a Space Biology Superhero encourages creative minds of all ages to address difficulties involved in space exploration, such as extreme gravity or disrupted sleep, to create a superhero that can thrive during space expeditions.
• Are you a game enthusiast?Learning Through the Looking Glass may be just for you. Use your passion to design a game that exposes people to the James Webb Space Telescope and its amazing capabilities!
• Ready to take on a more technical challenge? In Calling All Radio Enthusiasts, teams will use radio broadcast data from the International Space Station to develop an application that can display images of Earth's ionosphere.
• Seasoned at building apps for Space Apps? Put your software skills to the test by tackling the Track the Space Station in 3D challenge. Teams working on this challenge will work toward building and publishing an open-source web application that tracks the International Space Station in 3D dimensions.
