The Honeywell Fiesta Bowl Aerospace Challenge presented by The Arizona Republic featuring Microsoft Mission Control has quickly become one of Arizona's premier academic contests for youth. Designed to enhance knowledge of space technology for fifth through eighth grade students, the Aerospace Challenge requires participants to develop plans for a new generation International Space Station complete with a physical scale model. By working in groups, participants are encouraged to develop critical problem-solving, communication, team-building and decision making skills while expanding their knowledge in subject areas such as math, science, social studies, language and fine arts.
