“That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," is one of the most recognized quotes around the world and was said when Neil Armstrong first stepped foot on the moon. Unfortunately at the time that quote was said the opportunities that could lead someone to walk on the moon were not equally given to everyone. The Plant the Moon Challenge is a program that gives all students the opportunity to participate in scientific research as the next generation prepares to return to the moon on NASA’s Artemis program.
Students at our school have the exciting opportunity to participate in the Plant the Moon Challenge where students are given the opportunity to design their own experimental parameters, such as the structure of the plant growth setup, amount of water used, and nutrients or fertilizer added to the lunar simulant to support plant growth to help NASA scientists understand how to use lunar soil to provide nutritious crops for future missions to the Moon. Students will also have the chance to present their data to NASA scientists, program executives, and other dignitaries.
