The Dream with Us (DWU) Design Challenge asks students in grades 6-12 to dream of creative innovations for the future of aviation. They work to solve real-world issues that NASA Aeronautics is working on today to make aviation systems and technology safer, more sustainable, and more accessible to everyone.

Middle school teams will choose from topics in areas such as crop production, resilience, harvest, and other important areas. Teams of two to four students will build a presentation to showcase their design.

High school student teams will focus on creating a drone that can monitor plant health, detect pests, and collect samples. Teams of three to seven students will build an engineering design notebook supporting their proposal.

Teams must be registered by December 8, 2025.
