NASA Announces 'Cassini Scientist For A Day' Essay Contest

Students In Grades 5-12 Are Eligible To Enter

NASA is inviting students in grades 5-12 and their classrooms to participate in the annual Cassini Scientist for a Day Essay Contest. To participate, students choose one of three images taken by the Cassini spacecraft at Saturn. Then students write an essay to explain why their chosen image makes the best science target.

The winning essays will be posted on the NASA Solar System Exploration website and the winning schools will be invited to participate in a teleconference or videoconference with mission scientists.

Students will learn about Saturn, its fascinating features and mysterious moons. Once research is complete, students will choose one of the three targets and defend their choice in an essay of up to 500 words.

The decision should be based on which target you think would yield the best scientific results. Just like real scientists do, explain what you hope to learn from the selected image.

The deadline for the U.S. contest is Friday, Feb. 24, 2017. Other participating countries may have different deadlines.
