Share with Youth: NASA TechRise Student Challenge

Submission deadline: November 1, 2024

NASA invites students in grades 6–12 to submit science and technology experiment ideas to fly on a high-altitude balloon. The 2024–2025 TechRise Challenge provides participants with hands-on insight into the payload design and suborbital flight test process, with the goal of inspiring a deeper understanding of space exploration, Earth observation, coding, electronics, and the value of test data. Sixty winning teams will be selected to build their proposed experiment. Each winning team will receive $1,500 to build their experiment, a flight box in which to build it, and an assigned spot to test their experiment on a NASA-sponsored high-altitude balloon flight. Learn more and submit.
