Create a Space Related Design and Win a ZYYX+ 3D Printer!
Ever dreamed about going into space? Take your imagination out of this world and design something related to space! You can create anything from spaceship design concepts, alien figurines, and planet models to tools and games meant for use in a zero gravity environment. The universe is your limit! If you are building a tool for astronauts, put yourself in their shoes! Learn more about how different activities are performed while on a space station by visiting NASA’s website that explains how astronauts do things like eating and exercising, and what they do with their free time .
