Congratulations to the team, The Pickled Cucumbers, made up of Carlisle Patete and Isabella St.Onge. The Pickled Cucumbers’ idea was selected as the winner out of 200 nationwide submissions in the Meals on Mars challenge! The grand prize is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Houston, Texas, to visit NASA’s Johnson Space Center and work with a scientist to make their idea a reality. Carlisle and Isabella developed a force-generating space vessel that would make up for the lack of gravity and allow plants and rabbits to grow in a spinning outside chamber while astronauts work safely in a non-spinning inner chamber. After preparing a well-written explanation of their idea and a very detailed drawing, their entry was submitted to the contest by their teacher, Mrs. Mitchell, along with the entries of several other 6th grade teams. Check out the exciting announcement on the Kid's Science Website. Congratulations girls!
