Youngsters from Europe, the Middle East and Africa were invited to the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, for a live chat with ESA astronaut André Kuipers and NASA astronaut Don Pettit.
The prize was well-deserved: only 21 videos out of the 2000 submitted made it
to the regional final of the YouTube Space Lab competition.
Space Lab, supported by ESA, was initiated by YouTube, NASA, Japan's JAXA space agency, Space Adventures and Lenovo. It challenges students around the world to design a science experiment to be performed on the International Space Station.
