Now in its 26th year, the event brings teams of middle and high school students to the lab to compete with home-built contraptions.
Teenagers wielding power tools and plywood demonstrated their engineering prowess at the annual Invention Challenge at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California on Friday. Also in evidence: lots of small motors, 3D-printed gears, PVC pipe, and duct…

Creation in the Quran 🌹
Praise belongs to God who created the heavens and the earth and made darkness and light; yet the disbelievers set up equals to their Lord! 6:1 [ Surah Al-An'am ]
He is the one who created you from clay and specified a term [for you] and another fixed time, known only to Him; yet still you doubt! 6:2
He is God in the heavens and on earth, He knows your secrets and what you reveal, and He knows what you do;
—
Nothing on earth or in heaven is hidden from God: 3:5
it is He who shapes you all in the womb as He pleases. There is no God but Him, the Mighty, the Wise: 3:6
—
People, be mindful of your Lord, who created you from a single soul, and from it created its mate, and from the pair of them spread countless men and women far and wide; be mindful of God, in whose name you make requests of one another. Beware of severing the ties of kinship: God is always watching over you. 4:1 [ Surah An-Nisa ]
It is God who splits open the seed and the fruit stone: He brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living- that is God- so how can you turn away from the truth?
6:95
He makes the dawn break; He makes the night for rest; and He made the sun and the moon to a precise measure. That is the design of the Almighty, the All Knowing.6:96
It is He who made the stars, so that they can guide you when land and sea are dark: We have made the signs clear for those who have knowledge.
It is He who first produced you from a single soul, then gave you a place to stay [in life] and a resting place [after death]. We have made Our revelations clear to those who understand.6:98
It is He who sends down water from the sky. With it We produce the shoots of each plant, then bring greenery from it, and from that We bring out grains, one riding on the other in close-packed rows. From the date palm come clusters of low-hanging dates, and there are gardens of vines, olives, and pomegranates, alike yet different. Watch their fruits as they grow and ripen! In all this there are signs for those who would believe.6:99 [ Surah Al-An'am ]
—
We established you [people] on the earth and provided you with a means of livelihood there––small thanks you give!
7:10
We created you, We gave you shape, and then We said to the angels, ‘Bow down before Adam,’ and they did. But not Iblis: he was not one of those who bowed down. 7:11
—
Your Lord is God, who created the heavens and earth in six Days, then established Himself on the throne; He makes the night cover the day in swift pursuit; He created the sun, moon, and stars to be subservient to His command; all creation and command belong to Him. Exalted be God, Lord of all the worlds! 7:54
Call on your Lord humbly and privately- He does not like those who transgress His bounds:
do not corrupt the earth after it has been set right- call on Him fearing and hoping. The mercy of God is close to those who do good. 7:56
It is God who sends the winds, bearing good news of His coming grace, and when they have gathered up the heavy clouds, We drive them to a dead land where We cause rain to fall, bringing out all kinds of crops, just as We shall bring out the dead. Will you not reflect? 7:57
Vegetation comes out of good land in abundance, by the will of its Lord, but out of bad land only scantily: We explain Our Revelations in various ways to those who give thanks.
—
whoever God guides is truly guided, and whoever God allows to stray is a loser.7:178
We have created many jinn and people who are destined for Hell, with hearts they do not use for comprehension, eyes they do not use for sight, ears they do not use for hearing. They are like cattle, no, even further astray: these are the ones who are entirely heedless.7:179
The Most Excellent Names belong to God: use them to call on Him, and keep away from those who abuse them- they will be requited for what they do.
Among those We created are a group of people who guide with truth and act justly according to it. [ Surah Al-A'raf ]
—
Have they not contemplated the realm of the heavens and earth and all that God created, and that the end of their time might be near? What [other revelation] will they believe in if they do not believe in this? 7:185
—
It is He who created you all from one soul, and from it made its mate so that he might find comfort in her: when one [of them] lies with his wife and she conceives a light burden, going about freely, then grows heavy, they both pray to God, their Lord, ‘If You give us a good child we shall certainly be grateful,’7:189
and yet when He gives them a good child they ascribe some of what He has granted them to others.7:190 [ Surah Al-A'raf]
—
control of the heavens and earth belongs to God; He alone gives life and death; you have no ally or helper other than Him.9:116
—
Your Lord is God who created the heavens and earth in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne, governing everything; there is no one that can intercede with Him, unless He has first given permission: this is God your Lord so worship Him. How can you not take heed?10:3
It is to Him you shall all return––that is a true promise from God. It was He who created [you] in the first place, and He will do so again, so that He may justly reward those who believe and do good deeds. But the disbelievers will have a drink of scalding water, and agonizing torment, because they persistently disbelieved.10:4
It is He who made the sun a shining radiance and the moon a light, determining phases for it so that you might know the number of years and how to calculate time. God did not create all these without a true purpose; He explains His signs to those who understand.10:5
In the succession of night and day, and in what God created in the heavens and earth, there truly are signs for those who are aware of Him.
—
The life of this world is like this: rain that We send down from the sky is absorbed by the plants of the earth, from which humans and animals eat. But when the earth has taken on its finest appearance, and adorns itself, and its people think they have power over it, then the fate We commanded comes to it, by night or by day, and We reduce it to stubble, as if it had not flourished just the day before. This is the way We explain the revelations for those who reflect.10:24
—
Say [Prophet], ‘Who provides for you from the sky and the earth? Who controls hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living, and who governs everything?’ They are sure to say, ‘God.’ Then say, ‘So why do you not take heed of Him? 10:31
That is God, your Lord, the Truth. Apart from the Truth, what is there except error? So how is it that you are dissuaded?’
10:32
It is to God that everything in the heavens and the earth truly belongs: God’s promise is true, but most people do not realize it.10:55
It is He who gives life and takes it, and you will all be returned to Him.10:56
—
indeed, all who are in the heavens and on the earth belong to Him. Those who call upon others beside God are not really following partner-gods; they are only following assumptions and telling lies.10:66
It is He who made the night so that you can rest in it and the daylight so that you can see- there truly are signs in this for those who hear.10:67 [ Surah Yunus ]
—
It is God who raised up the heavens with no visible supports and then established Himself on the throne; He has subjected the sun and the moon each to pursue its course for an appointed time; He regulates all things, and makes the revelations clear so that you may be certain of meeting your Lord; 13:2
it is He who spread out the earth, placed firm mountains and rivers on it, and made two of every kind of fruit; He draws the veil of night over the day. There truly are signs in this for people who reflect. 13:3
There are, in the land, neighbouring plots, gardens of vineyards, cornfields, palm trees in clusters or otherwise, all watered with the same water, yet We make some of them taste better than others: there truly are signs in this for people who reason. 13:4
If anything can amaze you [Prophet], then you should surely be amazed at their asking, ‘What? When we become dust, shall we be created anew?’ These are the ones who deny their Lord, who will wear iron collars around their necks and be the inhabitants of the Fire, there to remain. 13:5
—
It is He who shows you the lightning, inspiring fear and hope; He builds up the clouds heavy with rain;13:12
the thunder sounds His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him; He sends thunderbolts to strike whoever He will. Yet still they dispute about God- He has mighty plans.
The only true prayer is to Him: those they pray to besides Him give them no answer any more than water reaches the mouth of someone who simply stretches out his hands for it- it cannot do so: the prayers of the disbelievers are all in vain. 13:14
—
It is God who created the heavens and earth, who has sent down water from the sky and with it brought forth produce to nourish you; He has made ships useful to you, sailing the sea by His command, and the rivers too;14:32
He has made the sun and the moon useful to you, steady on their paths; He has made the night and day useful to you
and given you some of everything you asked Him for. If you tried to count God’s favours you could never calculate them: man is truly unjust and ungrateful.14:34 [ Surah Ibrahim ]
—
We have set constellations up in the sky and made it beautiful for all to see,15:16
and guarded it from every stoned satan:
As for the earth, We have spread it out, set firm mountains on it, and made everything grow there in due balance.
15:19
We have provided sustenance in it for you and for all those creatures for whom you do not provide.15:20
There is not a thing whose storehouses are not with Us. We send it down only according to a well-defined measure:
We send the winds to fertilize, and We bring down water from the sky for you to drink- you do not control its sources.
15:22
It is We who give life and death; it is We who inherit [everything].
We know exactly those of you who come first and those who come later.15:24
[Prophet], it is your Lord who will gather them all together: He is all wise, all knowing.
We created man out of dried clay formed from dark mud-
15:26
the jinn We created before, from the fire of scorching wind.
Your Lord said to the angels, ‘I will create a mortal out of dried clay, formed from dark mud. 15:28
When I have fashioned him and breathed My spirit into him, bow down before him,’
and the angels all did so.15:30
—
We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything between them without a true purpose: the Hour will certainly come, so [Prophet] bear with them graciously. 15:85
Your Lord is the All Knowing Creator.
We have given you the seven oft-recited versesand the whole glorious Quran.15:87
Do not look longingly at the good things We have given some to enjoy. Do not grieve over the [disbelievers], but lower your wings over the believers
and say, ‘I am here to give plain warning,’ 15:89 [ Surah Al-Hijr ]
—
The command of Allah is at hand, so do not hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him in worship˺!16:1
He sends down the angels with revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants, ˹stating:˺ “Warn ˹humanity˺ that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Me, so be mindful of Me ˹alone˺.”16:2
He created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. Exalted is He above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺!
He created humans from a sperm-drop, then—behold!—they openly challenge ˹Him˺.16:4
And He created the cattle for you as a source of warmth, food, and ˹many other˺ benefits.
They are also pleasing to you when you bring them home and when you take them out to graze.16:6
They carry your loads to lands you yourselves could not reach without great hardship––truly your Lord is kind and merciful––
horses, mules, and donkeys for you to ride and use for show, and other things you know nothing about.16:8
God points out the right path, for some paths lead the wrong way: if He wished, He could guide you all.16:9
It is He who sends down water for you from the sky, from which comes a drink for you, and the shrubs that you feed to your animals.
With it He grows for you grain, olives, palms, vines, and all kinds of other crops. There truly is a sign in this for those who reflect.16:11
By His command He has made the night and day, the sun, moon, and stars all of benefit to you. There truly are signs in this for those who use their reason.16:12
He has made of benefit to you the many-coloured things He has multiplied on the earth. There truly are signs in this for those who take it to heart.
It is He who made the sea of benefit to you: you eat fresh fish from it and bring out jewellery to wear; you see the ships cutting through its waves so that you may go in search of His bounty and give thanks.16:14
He has made mountains stand firm on the earth, to prevent it shaking under you, and rivers and paths so that you may find your way,
and landmarks and stars to guide people.
Can He who creates be compared to one who cannot create? Why do you not take heed? 16:17
If you tried to count God’s blessings, you could never take them all in: He is truly most forgiving and most merciful.
He knows what you conceal and what you reveal.16:19
Those they invoke beside God create nothing; they are themselves created.
They are dead, not living. They do not know when they will be raised up.16:21
Your God is the One God. As for those who deny the life to come, their hearts refuse to admit the truth and they are arrogant.16:22
—
When We will something to happen, all that We say is, ‘Be,’ and it is.16:40
As for those who emi-grated in God’s cause after being wronged, We shall give them a good home in this world, but the reward of the Hereafter will be far greater, if they only knew it.
They are the ones who are steadfast and put their trust in their Lord.16:42
[Prophet], all the messengers We sent before you were simply men to whom We had given the Revelation: you [people] can ask those who have knowledge if you do not know.
—
Do the [disbelievers] not observe the things that God has created, casting their shadows right and left, submitting themselves to God obediently?16:48
It is to God that everything in the heavens and earth submits, every beast that moves, even the angels- they are free from arrogance:
they fear their Lord above them, and they do as they are commanded.16:50
—
We have sent down the Scripture to you only to make clear to them what they differ about, and as guidance and mercy to those who believe.16:64
It is God who sends water down from the sky and with it revives the earth when it is dead. There truly is a sign in this for people who listen.16:65
In livestock, too, you have a lesson- We give you a drink from the contents of their bellies, between waste matter and blood, pure milk, sweet to the drinker.
From the fruits of date palms and grapes you take sweet juice and wholesome provisions. There truly is a sign in this for people who use their reason.16:67
And your Lord inspired the bee, saying, ‘Build yourselves houses in the mountains and trees and what people construct.
Then feed on all kinds of fruit and follow the ways made easy for you by your Lord.’ From their bellies comes a drink of different colours in which there is healing for people. There truly is a sign in this for those who think.16:69
It is God who has created you and in time will cause you to die. Some of you will be reduced, in old age, to a most abject state, so that, after having knowledge, they will know nothing at all: God is truly all knowing and all powerful.
16:70
God has given some of you more provision than others. Those who have been given more are unwilling to pass their provision on to the slaves they possess so that they become their equals. How can they refuse to acknowledge God’s blessings?16:71
And it is God who has given you spouses from amongst yourselves and through them He has given you children and grandchildren and provided you with good things. How can they believe in falsehood and deny God’s blessings?
Those they worship beside God have no power to provide anything for them from the heavens or the earth: they can do nothing.16:73
—
All that is hidden from view in the heavens and earth belongs to God. The coming of the Hour of Judgement is like the blink of an eye, or even quicker: God has power over everything.16:77
It is God who brought you out of your mothers’ wombs knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and minds, so that you might be thankful.
Do they not see the birds made to fly through the air in the sky? Nothing holds them up except God. There truly are signs in this for those who believe.16:79
It is God who has given you a place of rest in your homes and from the skins of animals made you homes that you find light [to handle] when you travel and when you set up camp; furnishings and comfort for a while from their wool, fur, and hair.
It is God who has given you shade from what He has created, and places of shelter in the mountains; garments to protect you from the heat, and garments to protect you in your wars. In this way He perfects His blessings on you, so that you may devote yourselves to Him.16:81
But if they turn away [Prophet], your only duty is to deliver the message clearly.
—
So eat of the good and lawful things God has provided for you and be thankful for His blessings, if it is Him that you worship.16:114 [ Surah An-Nahl ]
—
We have made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs: the Sign of the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the Day We have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail.17:12
Every man’s fate We have fastened on his own neck: On the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll, which he will see spread open.
—
[Prophet], they ask you about the Spirit. Say, ‘The Spirit is part of my Lord’s domain. You have only been given a little knowledge.’17:85
If We pleased, We could take away what We have revealed to you- then you would find no one to plead for you against Us-
if it were not for your Lord’s mercy: His favour to you has been truly great.17:87
—
Do they not see that God, who created the heavens and earth, can create the likes of them [anew]? He has ordained a time for them- there is no doubt about that- but the evildoers refuse everything except disbelief.17:99
Say, ‘If you possessed the very stores of my Lord’s bounty, you would hold them back in your fear of spending: man is ever grudging.’
—
They also say, ‘What? When we are turned to bones and dust, shall we really be raised up in a new act of creation?’
17:49
Say, ‘[Yes] even if you were [as hard as] stone, or iron,
17:50
or any other substance you think hard to bring to life.’ Then they will say, ‘Who will bring us back?’ Say, ‘The One who created you the first time.’ Then they will shake their heads at you and say, ‘When will that be?’ Say, ‘It may well be very soon:
it will be the Day when He calls you, and you answer by praising Him, and you think you have stayed [on earth] only a little while.’ 17:52 [ Surah Al-Isra ]
—
We have adorned the earth with attractive things so that We may test people to find out which of them do best, 18:7
but We shall reduce all this to barren dust.
—
His companion retorted, ‘Have you no faith in Him who created you from dust, from a small drop of fluid, then shaped you into a man?18:37
But, for me, He is God, my Lord, and I will never set up any partner with Him.18:38
—
In that situation, the only protection is that of God, the True God: He gives the best rewards and the best outcome.
Tell them, too, what the life of this world is like: We send water down from the skies and the earth’s vegetation absorbs it, but soon the plants turn to dry stubble scattered about by the wind: God has power over everything.18:45
—
One day We shall make the mountains move, and you will see the earth as an open plain. We shall gather all people together, leaving no one.18:47
They will be lined up before your Lord: ‘Now you have come to Us as We first created you, although you claimed We had not made any such appointment for you.’
—
I did not make them witnesses to the creation of the heavens and earth, nor to their own creation; I do not take as My supporters those who lead others astray.18:51 [ Surah Al-Kahf ]
—
He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, and when He decrees something, He says only, ‘Be,’ and it is. 2:117
—
It is He who created the heavens and the earth for a true purpose. On the Day when He says, ‘Be,’ it will be: His word is the truth. All control on the Day the Trumpet is blown belongs to Him. He knows the seen and the unseen: He is the All Wise, the All Aware. 6:73 [ Surah Al-An'am ]
—
Allah (God) knows what every female bears, and how some wombs may miscarry or else may wait too long. Everything has its measure with Him; 13:8
Knowing the Unseen and the Visible, [He is] the Great, the Exalted!
It is all the same for you whether one of you is secretive about what he says or speaks out about it, and whether one keeps to himself night and struts around by day: 13:10
[ Surah Ar-Ra’d ]
He sends water from the sky that fills riverbeds to overflowing, each according to its measure. The stream carries on its surface a growing layer of froth, like the froth that appears when people melt metals in the fire to make ornaments and tools: in this way God illustrates truth and falsehood- the froth disappears, but what is of benefit to man stays behind- this is how God makes illustrations. 13:17
There will be the best of rewards for those who respond to their Lord; those who do not respond would willingly give away the earth’s contents twice over, if they had it, in order to ransom themselves, so terrible will be their reckoning. Hell will be their home, and their bed wretched.13:18
