Target Applicant:


Interested teachers/coaches and teams of 3-5 high-school-aged students register to move InWorld to continue working in a 3D virtual environment.

Participating college students build InWorld teams by selecting from registered teams and their teachers/coaches. Each InWorld team is assigned an engineer or scientist mentor.

In a virtual world setting, each newly formed team uses 21st Century tools to refine designs and to create 3D models of the Webb telescope.

Webb engineers will visit and “chat” InWorld throughout the challenge.

Participation in Phase 2 is limited to U.S. citizens.
