Hi-Tech Pumpkin Carvings

NASA's Annual Pumpkin Carving Competition Has Amazing Designs

The jack-o’-lanterns at this 2013 pumpkin carving competition are definitely not your average pumpkins. These pumpkins come from the engineers, scientists and researchers at NASA and as you might expect, there were some incredibly creative pumpkins and impressively precise carving methods at this competition.

The average jack-o’-lantern is at least fitted with a candle, but these creative pumpkin carvings take it a step further with LED lights, robotic rotating eyeballs and other moving parts.

Halloween has just come to and end, but this just means that there is plenty of time to gather inspiration and sharpen your pumpkin carving skills for next year in order to create a pumpkin carving that could rival some of these amazing pumpkin designs.
