The students won first place in the elementary division of the the
Optimus Prime contest for their YouTube video about clothing developed
using NASA technology. Their video took the form of a newscast about the
fabrics, which protect wearers from harmful ultraviolet rays. The
contest goal was to help students understand how NASA technology
âtransformsâ into things used daily.
The four girls each received a 10-pound glass trophy with Optimus
Prime etched inside and their name engraved on it, a NASA goody bag and
clothing from the SPF company, which makes the UV-protective clothing
they featured in their video."
