The next time you’re at the Virginia Air & Space Center, check out the student art on the second floor. The collection is the work of local kids who took part in Langley’s “NASA 2009/All Around Us: From A to Z” art contest. The art is also compiled in a calendar.
Read the news release here. This year’s winners were to be recognized at a ceremony at the VASC tonight Jan. 14, with Center Diretor Lesa Roe speaking and the local news media invited.
We started the contest last year to celebrate NASA’s 50th anniversary. It was so successful that we’re trying to make it a yearly event. We found not only does the calendar contest excite the students to learn more about how NASA uses inspiration, innovation and discovery to build a better world. It also excites a lot of adults to see NASA’s missions through the eyes of the youngsters. We had about 300 entries from around Hampton Roads. That’s more than triple the number we had last year.” – Contest organizer Katrina Young
