Deanne gathered an expert panel of aerospace engineers and 3D printing educators and issued this year’s challenge. Accepting entries until December 19th, students nation-wide are invited to design a multi-functional 3D print that astronauts can use on the International Space Station, dubbed “Two for the Crew.” The subject packs a bunch of critical space travel concepts into a neat package, asking students to consider questions like; why do astronauts need tools that can perform multiple tasks? Why are volume and mass economy important on the ISS? What sort of tools are good at multiple tasks?
