Attention Students
Engineers PEI is pleased to present the National Engineering Week Artwork Contest for 2010.

Our theme this year is: "The Sky is No Limit: Living and Exploring Space". 

We invite all P.E.I. Grade 1 to 6 students to submit an artwork project based on this theme.

To enter the contest please complete the enclosed registration form and attach it securely to the front of your entry. This form can be photocopied as many times as necessary. Please also write your name and school on the back of your entry in case the registration form becomes separated.

There is no registration fee. You can create a picture by yourself or your whole class can work together on a class mural.


Objective
To produce a colour poster or mural with the theme "The Sky is No Limit: Living and Exploring Space". 

"The Sky is No Limit: Living and Exploring Space"
On July 1969, Astronaut George Armstrong set foot on the moon.
On March 1972, Pioneer 10 was launched to be the first space probe to an outer planet, the first spacecraft to travel through the asteroid belt, the first spacecraft to make direct observations and obtain close-up images of Jupiter, and the first man-made object to leave the solar system.
On February 1975, Viking I was the first orbiter and lander sent and successful landed on Mars.


In 2100, will we be living and working on other planets?
If so, what will our new city look like? Our houses? Our schools? Our malls? Our buildings?
How do we travel from one part of the city to another? Will we have roads and highways? What kind of transportation will be using? How do we get to the planet and back to Earth?
What kind of plants and animals could we find in this new environment? How do we grow our favourite Earth Foods? Where and how do we get water?
What kinds of things will we be doing? What kinds of jobs will we have? What new sports could we be playing? What would the arenas be like?
