    This is a unique opportunity for middle-school students to collaborate, innovate, and help shape the future of sustainable space exploration — on Earth, the Moon, and beyond.
    PLEASE NOTE: The SWFT Competition itself is completely free to all participants. However, PVNet, a nonprofit, self-funded, and primarily volunteer-staffed organization, incurs significant expenses to host student teams and mentors at our facility during the competition.
    To help offset a small portion of these costs, PVNet requires a $100 participation fee for students competing through PVNet. This fee represents approximately 0.5% of PVNet’s actual cost and helps us to provide this opportunity and support your child’s experience in the competition.
    By registering you agree to PVNet's terms & policies.
