Are you ready to solve the challenges of space exploration?

Join the RealWorld-InWorld (RWIW) NASA Engineering Design Challenge to solve one of two NASA-related problems.

There are two phases to the RWIW Challenge.

RealWorld

The challenge begins in the RealWorld where students in grades 7-12 use the engineering design process to solve a problem related to either the James Webb Space Telescope or Robonaut 2 (R2).  Educator and student RealWorld resources will be available August 1, 2011.

InWorld

Selected RealWorld teams are mentored InWorld by college engineering students in a virtual world setting.  Team leader and student InWorld resources will be available September 1, 2011.

Meet and Chat With Experts!

Throughout both the RealWorld and InWorld phases, Webb Telescope and R2 researchers will meet students in the RWIW STEM Public Space for scheduled Q&A sessions.
