Outer space inspires exploration, creativity, and above all, wonder. In the Space Contest, we want you to travel to the outer reaches of your imagination. This contest is open to any space-related project your Earthly hands can make.

We’re giving away some fantastic prizes, in partnership with Celestron: 4 computerized telescopes and 5 pairs of binoculars, all waiting to give you a glimpse into the awe-inspiring space that surrounds our big blue planet.

Get started on your project today! It may just be one small step to get started, but that puts you one giant leap closer to winning a super-sweet prize.
