Cassini Scientist for a Day Essay Contest
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.
The contest meets national English and science education standards.
