Horizon is an awareness program for Constellation, the next wave of space exploration. Created by NASA (by nasa I mean me) to reach out to science, engineering, mathematics and technology graduate students, the Horizon program revolves around building appeal by showing this market that they will be creating solutions to problems that no one has ever undertaken before.
To execute this, the students form teams, and are each provided a Horizon Lab. The lab contains a large array of parts that students use to assemble any sort of device or contraption. This pushes students to use their creativity and problem solving to create something new and different, which resembles the type of work they'll be doing on the Constellation program.
The information brochure that comes in the lab is divided up into several pieces, with interlocking tabs. This continues the theme of the assembly of random parts.
The lab also provides the means to test the device they assemble, by way of the DTS (Device Testing and Simulation) software.
