How LEGO bricks are shaping the next generation of aerospace engineers
In short: NASA is partnering with LEGO to host a design competition that invites the public to build the spacecraft of the future. This collaboration explores how tactile play can spark serious engineering innovation.
The 'NASA's Missions: Imagine and Build' competition challenges participants aged 13 and over to design futuristic aircraft or spacecraft using LEGO bricks. The initiative aims to inspire future aerospace engineers by bridging the gap between imaginative play and technical design.
The competition features a deadline of July 31, with winners scheduled for announcement during the week of September 1. The project was highlighted during a Google+ Hangout featuring astronaut Leland Melvin, NASA experts, and LEGO representatives.
