The ASME Foundation and NASA Team Up with Star Trek for This Y... The ASME Foundation and NASA Team Up with Star Trek for This Y... The ASME Foundation and NASA Team Up with Star Trek during the current Year's Future Engineers Challenge Passages are currently being acknowledged for the most recent Future Engineers Challenge. The opposition, which has a Star Trek-related subject this year, requests that understudies make a computerized model of a non-consumable, food-related thing that space travelers would have the option to 3D print and use in the year 2050. The Star Trek Replicator Challenge is the third in a progression of Future Engineers rivalries, supported by the ASME Foundation and NASA, which are proposed to help show K-12 understudies about 3D printing and building structure. Since the Future Engineers program started in 2014, NASA has sent a 3D printer to the International Space Station and space explorers have hence effectively printed 21 plastic instruments, compartments, and test tests, including the triumphant plans from the initial two Future Engineers Challenges. This year, the attention will be on the maintainability of the 3D-printed things, as per Niki Werkheiser, NASA in-space fabricating director. Supportability will be a basic part of long span space missions and will require off-planet fabricating advances to make the entirety of the things our future space explorers need, she said. The Star Trek Replicator Challenge was explicitly intended to urge understudies to consider future yearns of potential structures incorporate equipment expected to develop and reap plants to equipment expected to get ready, eat, and discard food. The champs of the Star Trek Replicator Challenge will get instructive prizes including an outing to New York for a voyage through the Space Shuttle Enterprise with a space explorer and eight 3D printers, which will be given to the victors schools. Star Trek is likewise providing a prize pack, the substance of which will be revealed sometime in the not too distant future. The cutoff time for sections is May 1, 2016. Intrigued understudies can become familiar with this years Future Engineers Challenge, or sign up to take part, at www.FutureEngineers.org/StarTrek.
