The patches frequently feature colors and shapes that represent key aspects of their mission.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been a variety of colors, symbols, and other features on mission patches. &nbsp;Explore these mission patches from the<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission_pages\/station\/expeditions\/past.html\" target=\"_blank\"> International Space Station<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/history.nasa.gov\/apollo_patches.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"> Apollo<\/a> missions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Code_How_to_Participate_and_Submit\"><\/span><strong>The Code: How to Participate and Submit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Encourage your students to learn about human spaceflight with NASA and get creative by making their very own mission patches!  The Design a Mission Patch Challenge is a block coding project for students in grades 1-8. Tynker has created a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/weekly-projects\/nasa-mission-patch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">lesson plan<\/a>, which will be available on your teacher dashboard, to guide you through every step in teaching your students about the patches and helping them create their own. This is a great opportunity for students to explore the history of NASA and develop their creativity skills as they draw pictures of their patches. Then, they can create and animate their patches in Tynker. Make sure they remember to write about their personal inspiration for their patch.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Design a Mission Patch Challenge project will go live on Monday, April 29th, 2019. Why not use class time till then to get students excited about NASA and space exploration? Have them explore the terrific NASA resources in the project <a href=\"https:\/\/vmandyam.tynker.com\/weekly-projects\/nasa-mission-patch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Teacher Guide<\/a> to start thinking about what their mission patch could represent.
