Optimus Prime Demands That You Vote

NASA Invites Public To Vote On Optimus Prime Contest Student Videos
“NASA has opened online voting for the agency’s OPTIMUS PRIME Spinoff Award student video contest. The public is invited to vote for its favorite videos, made by students in grades three through eight, developed to help educate America’s youth about the benefits of NASA’s technologies. NASA is using the correlation between Hasbro’s TRANSFORMERS property and commercialized agency “spinoffs” to help students understand how technology developed for space and aeronautics “transforms” into what is used on Earth. More than 190 children from 31 states have submitted creative videos describing their favorite agency technology from NASA’s 2009 Spinoff publication. The students also documented why their video should be selected to win the NASA OPTIMUS PRIME trophy.”
