The STEMarts Lab is looking for local starts in northern New Mexico to participate in the STEMarts Lab Challenge. Space technology allows for many innovative endeavors, including utilizing satellites to give farmers insight on soil moisture levels, as well as giving patients satellite-linked devices to monitor their vitals to improve their health. The possibilities and innovations space technology can give us and our future is endless.
Because of this, the STEMarts Lab is announcing the launch of a STEMarts Challenge for students, ages 14 to 20, in northern New Mexico. Students are encouraged to draw their vision on how space and science technology can enhance life on earth.
“This challenge bridges art and science by encouraging students to think creatively about how space technology can solve real-world problems,” stated Agnes Chavez, New Mexico-based new media artist and founder/director of STEMarts Labs. “We’re excited to see how students will rise to the occasion.”
This year’s challenge is focused on students from:
- Northern New Mexico
- Guadalajara, Mexico
- Ireland
- Linz, Austria
- Lisbon, Portugal
The deadline to submit is November 1. Winners will be announced on November 29. Cash prizes between $100 and $500 will be awarded to winners in various categories.
New Mexico teachers are encouraged to explore the theme “Space for Earth—Space for All” with their students. Teachers can visit STEMarts.com where they can find a standards-aligned curriculum tool and classroom lesson guide, ensuring easy integration of the challenge into teaching plans.
