Engineering design challenge
The NASA Real World-In World Engineering Design Challenge is an educational program targeting students in grades 7–12 to foster skills relevant to STEM careers. The program is structured into two phases: project-based learning and team competitions. Participants tackle engineering challenges, collaborating with university students and mentors in a virtual reality environment. The projects focus on technologies such as the James Webb Space Telescope and the Robonaut 2 humanoid robot. The Real World-In World initiative is a collaboration among NASA, the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), and USA TODAY Education. It builds on the foundation of the Sight/Insight design challenge by NASA and USA TODAY Education, and the Virtual Exploration Sustainability Challenge (VESC), a joint effort of NIA and NASA.
