NASA has widened online voting for the agency's Optimus Prime Spinoff Award student video contest. The public is invited to vote for its preferred videos, made by students in grades three through eight, urbanized 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 recognize how technology developed for space and aeronautics "transforms" into what is used on Earth.
More than 190 children from 31 states have submitted inventive videos describing their preferred 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.
