How do you drink water when there’s no gravity to make it flow? 💧

Astronauts can’t simply pour water into an open cup aboard the International Space Station. In microgravity, water doesn’t fall downward the way it does on Earth. Instead, astronauts use specially designed drink containers with straws and valves that help control the water and keep it from floating away.
It’s a great example of how the space environment changes something we normally take for granted.

That same kind of observation is at the heart of NASA HUNCH. Students are challenged to look closely at how an environment changes a problem, then use design, testing, and problem-solving to develop a solution.

Your first prototype isn’t supposed to be perfect.

In NASA HUNCH’s Design & Prototyping program, students build, test, redesign, and explain each decision along the way, because real engineering means learning from what didn’t work the first time. What’s something you’ve learned by testing an idea that needed another try? Share your thoughts below 👇

Space needs more than astronauts.

Through NASA HUNCH, students explore real pathways into the space industry, from hardware fabrication and software development to media production, design, robotics, and biomedical science. Ready to see where your strengths fit in the larger mission? 🚀

What if your next classroom project started with a challenge NASA actually needs solved?

This is what happens when students take on real missions: they design, prototype, test, and present ideas in engineering, software, biomedical science, culinary, flight configuration, video, and media. Talk with your teacher and explore NASA HUNCH to see how your school can get involved. 🚀

What happens between the first sketch and something that works? In NASA HUNCH, students test, rebuild, and refine real solutions for space exploration, gaining hands-on experience with NASA and aerospace partners along the way. This is what happens when curiosity meets meaningful work, across 38 states and more than 3,000 student-built items flown to space. 🚀

16 sunrises in one Earth day. That’s life aboard the International Space Station, where every 90-minute orbit changes how astronauts eat, sleep, work, and live in space. NASA HUNCH asks students to design for that reality, not just imagine it. What part of everyday life would you redesign without gravity? Share your thoughts below 👇 🚀

Every prototype starts rough.

In NASA HUNCH, students turn notebook sketches into real prototypes, testing, refining, and building confidence through iteration. Some of those student-created products have even flown to the International Space Station, proof that the path to orbit begins with curiosity, feedback, and the chance to keep improving. 🚀

Before the diploma, students are already designing, making, coding, testing, and presenting work that matters. Through NASA HUNCH, the classroom becomes a place to build real experience, real confidence, and real career readiness, one challenge at a time. Ready to see where those strengths can lead?

551+ classrooms. 34 states. 4,123+ student-created items flown to the International Space Station.

This is what happens when hands-on learning moves beyond the textbook and into real work. Through NASA HUNCH, students and teachers are building skills, discipline, and confidence that reach far beyond the classroom. 🚀

Battery life, strength, or autonomy, which would you choose for a Mars robot? 🚀

That question is where real engineering begins. Through NASA HUNCH, students learn to make tradeoffs, test ideas, and defend design decisions just like the teams solving challenges in space exploration. Share your thoughts below 👇
