• Kickoff (the beginning of the school year) – Registration period. Information is posted on the website and goes out to teachers.

• PDR (Preliminary Design Reviews) – generally virtual reviews of students' projects and progress

• CDR (Critical Design Review) – generally in-person reviews, held regionally, to present your prototype to NASA HUNCH staff

• Final Showcase/FDR (Final Design Review) – invitation only; students invited will travel to Houston to showcase their final protype and project to NASA staff, engineers, and astronauts

Please reach with any questions to your regional mentor (contact information at the bottom of the regional webpage).

It’s going to be a great year!
