The NASA TechRise Challenge is now open for teams of students in Grades 6-12 to design experiments to be run either in a sub-orbital rocket or in a high-altitude balloon.  A team may have any number of students, and all team members must be from the same school. Each team must have one Team Lead who is a teacher or school employee. Designs must be submitted by November 3. Winners will be announced on January 21. Fifty-seven teams with winning designs will each receive a grant of $1,500 to build their experiments, technical support and office hours with mentors, as well as an assigned spot on a NASA-sponsored commercial suborbital flight.
