Growing Beyond Earth Maker Contest Showcase

Feedback form is now closed.

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in collaboration with Moonlighter Miami presents its efforts with makers across the US to design new ways to grow edible plants aboard spacecraft. A part of Fairchild's partnership with NASA, the Growing Beyond Earth Maker Contest welcomes makers of a range of ages and skill levels to conceive and create new growth chambers to influence the next phase of space crop production! Meet the finalists of Year 1 of the Maker Contest and stay tuned for announcements about next year's challenge.
