“Falling for the Moon” with Slooh
Updated: Sep 8, 2025
In honor of this spooky season being filled with so much Lunar activity, from a Total Lunar Eclipse in early September to a Supermoon in early November, Slooh is hosting a “Falling for the Moon” poster contest! This is a great chance for students to explore lunar science in a hands-on way and creatively showcase what they’ve learned.
About the Contest:
Students will complete Slooh’s Lunar Phases Quest (for their grade level), which guides them through real-time telescope observations and interactive learning about the Moon’s phases. Afterward, they’ll design and submit a poster that reflects their understanding and creativity. Please note that this Quest takes a full month to complete for students to capture images of each phase.
What We’re Looking For:
Posters that are thoughtful, informative, and visually engaging. Students are encouraged to use fun, Halloween-inspired designs—but astronomy and science communication are the real focus! The Slooh judges will be looking for not only accurate and well-informed science, but also out-of-the-box thinking and design.
Prizes & Recognition:
Selected posters will be featured on Slooh’s social media, and winners will receive Slooh merchandise and certificates. It’s a great way for students to build science communication skills and have fun with space science. There will be additional prizes for classroom or school-wide submissions.
Deadline to Submit:
October 21st, 2025
How to Participate:
- Students log in to Slooh and complete the Lunar Phases Quest
