Kids' Challenges

No matter your interest or hobby, we have a number of ways to compete and made for kids of any age! From photography and art to fashion and gardening, there is something for every kid at heart! 

Each challenge is free to participate in.

The Museum of Flight is excited to bring back Spacesuit Design Contest! For this challenge, entrants must design and draw an original Spacesuit that follows the theme and all Contest requirements and rules. The top entrants in each category will then build their design as a wearable spacesuit.

The Top 5 Spacesuit designs in each category will be showcased in a Fashion Show on Saturday, June 28, 2025. A panel of judges will decide the winning design for each age category (four categories total) and the four winning designs will be showcased at Fashion in Flight on November 8, 2025.
