Other JASON Programming
JASON Student Exhibit
The JASON Student Exhibit lets students explore the JASON Project themes and express what they learn by designing and constructing their own exhibit. From hanging murals to
three-dimensional dioramas, the opportunities are endless!
All groups choose a specific topic, conduct some research and then build a model or diorama representing what they learned. Since supplies are provided through a generous grant from the 3M Foundation, all teachers need to provide are excited and creative students.
Art Contest
Each year, the Bell Museum holds a JASON Project Art Contest around the live satellite broadcasts. If your students are coming to the Bell Museum to view the broadcasts we
encourage you to have them bring pieces of art inspired by the current JASON Project theme. All pieces will be displayed in the auditorium lobby where thousands
of students will get a chance to view it on their way into the broadcasts.
All art must be related to the most current JASON Project and not exceed 24" X 36". All pieces must be flat enough to hang on a wall and art must have an official entry form attached to its back. Entry categories are as follows:
