Be a Cassini Scientist for a Day
Posted at 07:26 on Monday 29 October 2007 by Kirk Kittell
Students in the US in grades 5 through 12 have a chance to be a Cassini Scientist for a Day. The Cassini team has selected four targets for future study of Saturn's moons and rings. Students choose one of the targets and justify why they would study it in further detail in an essay. The winners get to see their scientific missions realized by Cassini. I like that prize -- not money, but respect for your scientific thinking.

Deadline: 15 November
If I were in that age group, I'd be all over this. Working at JPL is the only constant "what I want to do with my life" since... well... my whole life. On the off chance that you're a student or a teacher that sees this post, leave a comment, and I'll try to find someone through the AAS or SEDS networks to help you with your entry. It would be a great opportunity to learn about a great exploration mission.
