$100 Space For All Challenge By Proxima Centauri Alpha
|
|
|
Submit a clever, lightweight and creative idea for something we can attach to our weather balloon (to be launched April 26, 2026) such as a meaningful symbol, unique object or cool experiment that represents our university spirit without adding too much weight (less than 6 ounces which is a standard hockey puck).
Last year's winner was Steve D., for his suggestion of "space radishes," a packet of radish seeds that were planted in the 麻豆精品 community garden after the weather balloon was recovered, simultaneously representing 麻豆精品's commitments to sustainability (community gardens/edible campus) and innovation (sending the seeds to edge of space). We look forward to seeing what new and unique ideas the Huskie community comes up with.

|
The deadline is March 26, 2026. The winner will be notified by email and receive $100 in cash. This event is hosted by Proxima Centauri Alpha, an honorary STEM society recognized by 麻豆精品. All 麻豆精品 staff and students are invited to participate.

"The Huskie Academic Success Center has helped me feel supported and successful. I work as a tutor there and learn valuable study skills and ways to support success, but I also get to provide support for students and their learning. The Department of Biological Sciences has helped me feel supported; many of the faculty are welcoming and genuinely want to help your succeed."

"My advice would be to keep pushing yourself to try new things and take full advantage of the resources available to you. You鈥檙e already in a place where growth is encouraged, so don鈥檛 be afraid to explore different fields, whether it鈥檚 through internships, group projects or extracurriculars. Take advantage of extra-credit opportunities and events where professionals in your field are speaking. I was personally inspired by an , who came to speak. His talk really ignited a passion in me and helped me see what I could become. Build relationships with your professors 鈥� they鈥檙e not just instructors, but mentors who can help you navigate your career path. Finally, embrace the challenges; they鈥檒l teach you more than you realize and help shape your future."
