Congratulations to the 2012 RWIW Winning Teams -- R2 Team 6 (Team MSC) and JWST Team 16 (Kepler). You may explore the design solutions of these two teams and the other finalists by downloading the NIA Universe and traveling to the RWIW Public Space. Learn how to download NIA Universe here.

The challenge begins in the RealWorld where students in grades 7-12 use the engineering design process to solve a problem related to either the James Webb Space Telescope or Robonaut 2 (R2). Educator and Student RealWorld resources are now available.
For every RealWorld student team registered from September through January, teacher/parent/coach names will also be entered into monthly drawings for $100 gift certificates.
Selected RealWorld teams are mentored InWorld by college engineering students in a virtual world setting. Team leader and student InWorld resources are now available.
Throughout both the RealWorld and InWorld phases, Webb Telescope and R2 researchers will meet students in the RWIW STEM Public Space for scheduled Q&A sessions. Click here for more details.
These designs were submitted by students during the RealWorld phase of the Challenge.
