Apollo 50th Anniversary Student Challenge (ANGLeS)
New Mexico Space Grant Consortium is supporting the Apollo Student Challenge, which provides an opportunity to middle and high school students to participate on hands-on application of current technology so that eventually they participate in the development of new technologies to study earth and beyond.
Teams that want to participate are required to be affiliated with an organization such as a school, library, museum, after school program, or club. The top team from each regional challenge hub will receive a trip to Johnson Space Center in August 2019. All organizations must register by March 31, 2019, to participate in ANGLeS, regardless of whether they intend to participate in a Regional Challenge Event. New Mexico State University is the host for the NM teams.
