About the #OhioSustainsSpace Design Challenge

Each year, the Ohio STEM Learning Network hosts a design challenge where students collaborate to create a workable solution to key issues facing our world. Any school in Ohio can participate in the challenge. Students will embark on a mission to improve the sustainability of life in orbit and on Earth. Participants will develop innovative plans, systems, or products that positively impact the sustainable use of materials, habitable space and/or energy.

In addition to the design challenge, students can compete to create a design for a sticker that represents this year’s challenge. Details and a link can be found on our website  #OhioSustainsSpace

Columbus locations will be emailed when finalized
