NASA TFs competition for American kids

[griffin]

Apparently they had a competition in American waaaay back in 2010, for kids up to age 18, to submit videos of how NASA technologies are used in real life... with something Transformers related.
The winning videos must have just been found by someone on Seibertron (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/nasa-optimus-prime-technology-spinoff-contest-winners-announced/24556/), as they were uploaded to youtube at the beginning of last year.
The Seibertron link also shows the awards, with a Transformers theme to them.

The Whaleshark one is really good.

I agree, and the awards look very nice.

I just came across this on the Hasbro news page, and had a vague memory of it being posted as news here some time ago.
Sure enough here is the 3 year old topic, and this looks to be an annual competition (http://itpo.gsfc.nasa.gov/optimus/index.php) that is still going (this year's closes January 12th).

I'm amazed that Hasbro and NASA have partnered up with this for so long, as I first thought it was just a one-off gimmick way back in 2011.
