NASA and Tynker Mission Patch Design Challenge: The Winners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tynker and NASA STEM Engagement teamed up to bring the first of three \u201cMoon2Mars\u201d challenges to kids worldwide. Following NASA astronauts\u2019 tradition of designing mission patches, kids were asked to create their own patch for an imaginary spacesuit with code. Thousands of kids rose to the occasion, submitting nearly 10,000 unique and creative animated \u2018Forward to the Moon\u2019 patches.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of those, NASA experts selected five winners from across the globe: Ishhaq Ziyam (6th Grade, Colombo, Sri Lanka); Neal Apte (3rd Grade, Palo Alto, CA, USA); Madison Morgan (8th Grade, Lewiston, ID, USA); Paxton Summers (3rd grade, Baltimore, MD, USA); and Wei Rui Teng (7th Grade, Miri, Malaysia).

Winner Ishhaq Ziyam<\/strong> is a 6th grader from Colombo, Sri Lanka. He attends Wycherley International School and created a patch that shows his take on the future of space travel! In it, a rocket takes off from Earth, and a rover descends to colonize the Moon. He then predicts the future on Mars! He and his twin Ismail (pictured) have always been fascinated by space travel! His win was covered by Colombo Gazette<\/a>, and UTV<\/a>, among other outlets. Congratulations, Ishhaq!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
