For the N.C. Science Festival, Discovery Place and Spandex City Comics are hosting the Science & Superheroes Contest for Charlotte-area students grades K-8.

To enter, students need to submit a drawing and written description of their own superhero who has STEM-related (science, technology, engineering and math) powers to solve real-world problems. Submissions are due March 8, and all participants will receive a free comic book.

There will be a category for grades K-2, 3-5 and 6-8. Winners will be invited to a ceremony at Discovery Place on April 6, where their work will be displayed.
