Bodhi '26 places 3rd in NASA Design Challenge

7th Grader Bodhi has earned 3rd place honors in his age group in the NASA Lunar Loo Challenge. After watching the Space X launch earlier this year, Bodhi was inspired to enter the challenge – a competition to design a functional toilet for the International Space Station that would work in both microgravity and lunar gravity. Bodhi’s original design, the “CosmoCommode” incorporates anti-gravity, created by relative centrifugal force, to move waste away from the astronaut. In a congratulatory message from the challenge organizers, they told him, “your solution was creative and insightful and impressed the judging panel.” Bodhi will receive a certificate and some NASA swag for his efforts. Congratulations Bodhi!
