A class of 9th-grade girls beat over 400 other classes to win this year's Ilan Ramon Space Olympics in Israel. The final competition was held at the Weizmann Institute of Science, which helps organize the annual event. The team's winning project - which earned a telescope for their Jerusalem school - was a satellite that would scatter nanolabs on an asteroid.
