The National Medal of Honor Heritage Center is launching a design challenge with the aim of engaging K-12 student teams (3-4 students per team) in the Design Engineering Process and connecting them to a real-world career, a Museum Exhibit Designer.
In this role, students will explore the history of the Challenger incident and the Space Medal of Honor and learn more about current and future space explorations to better guide the design of their exhibit prototypes.
This design challenge is competitive and includes a monetary prize. One student team will be selected from each category as the winning team. The monetary prize will be awarded to the classroom/school of the winning student team from each category.
The National Medal of Honor Heritage Center is expanding the stories of Medal of Honor recipients it tells through the addition of its Dick Scobee Space Medal of Honor Gallery. This Gallery will focus on Space Medal of Honor recipients and future space exploration. The Center wants you, as a Museum Exhibit Designer, to design and prototype (reduced-scale) ONE exhibit for it to consider including in its gallery. Your design, or elements of it, may actually be incorporated in the gallery.
