We are launching an annual STEMarts International Design Challenge for students ages 14-20. For this year’s sci-art challenge, we invite teachers to explore the theme “Space for Earth – Space for All” with their students.

Students are invited to create drawings that envision their future inspired by space science and technologies.

STEAM Curriculum

Visit the STEMarts International Design Challenge website to access a standard aligned STEAM curriculum tool and classroom lesson guide to make the process fun and easy for you. Students learn about the many ways that space exploration has improved our life on earth and then imagining a space-inspired design connected to their local environment, culture, and community.
