Want to be a Cassini Scientist for Day?

Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL) and Nasa are giving 5th-12th graders a chance to submit essays on what targets to take pictures of with the Cassini's cameras.

Essays will be judged by a panel of Cassini scientists, mission planners, and by the JPL education and outreach team. Winners will be invited to discuss their essays with JPL Cassini scientists via teleconference.

Looks like to great way to get a kid that is maybe a little interested in science a little deeper by doing research and making some real-world decisions based on that research.
