A Northport student is one of nine finalists in the NASA contest to name the new Mars rover.
More about the school HERE
- The name: Ingenuity
- The student: Vaneeza Rupani of Alabama.
- Here is the essay that accompanied her entry:
- Ingenuity represents the most remarkable things that humanity is capable of. It encompasses creativity, discovery, intelligence, and advanced thinking. These are the characteristics that define and enable human progress. They are the qualities that allow us to accomplish feats such as landing men on the moon or sending a rover to Mars. These achievements are not just the product of pure determination; they are a combination of human perseverance and ingenuity. The spirit and curiosity of people gave us a reason to do something as incredible as go to the red planet, but ingenuity is what made that journey possible. The ingenuity and brilliance of people working hard to overcome the challenges of interplanetary travel are what allow us all to experience the wonders of space exploration. Ingenuity is what allows people to accomplish amazing things, and it allows us to expand our horizons to the edges of the universe.
- There were 29,000 names proposed by students. Now the public votes on the nine finalists HERE.
The winner will be named in March!
