Genes in Space is a science contest that challenges students to design original DNA experiments that address real-life challenges and opportunities of space exploration. The contest is free and does not require equipment. Proposals will be judged solely on their creative and scientific merit. The winning experiment is conducted in space, and samples are returned to Earth for you to analyze! The submission deadline is April 11th, 2022. Learn more about the contest HERE.

25 awardees win a biotechnology prize pack for their educational institutions. Five Finalist teams additionally receive mentoring from Harvard and MIT Ph.D scientists and present their ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to win the contest and have their DNA experiment launch into space!
