Spacecraft Exploration Challenge

Attention! Calling all Space Enthusiasts age 12 and up (middle and high school students)!!

This is an opportunity to engage in a virtual space mission led by real-life NASA astronauts, scientists, engineers!! Led by former astronaut, Dr. Greg Chamitoff, students will learn from subject matter experts including astronauts, scientists and engineers who are directly involved in ongoing missions as they compete with other teams for the best mission design.

Space Teams is a 6-day program (4 hours/day) that will be held July 4-9.

The International SpaceCRAFT Exploration Challenge gives students an incredible opportunity to participate in space exploration themselves virtually.

Using an online virtual space program, young astronauts will team-up to conduct a human space exploration mission that includes building their own spacecraft, traveling across the vast expanses of space, and creating their own off-world habitat.

As part of a mission team, students will virtually design spacecraft, navigate to another planet, land their vehicle, build a planetary habitat, and explore a new planet to find resources in order to sustain human life. Students will learn from subject matter experts including astronauts, scientists and engineers who are directly involved in ongoing missions as they compete with other teams for the best mission design.

The cost for this program is $397 USD per students, however THE FIRST 24 QUALIFIED STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE A FULL SCHOLARSHIP SPONSORED BY STEMX - 365 TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS AMAZING PROGRAM!Subsequent students will receive a 20 % discount from STEMX - 365!

Quote from a Teacher

"This experience was definitely one of the best!!!! The cooperation across and within the teams was dynamic and priceless. The vocabulary they gained and expressed was so incredible. Thank you very much for organizing this awesome competition! It was well worth it and I am sure this is an experience that our students will share for the rest of their lives... Keep spreading the challenge. We need to expose our Artemis Generation with this degree of knowledge to be prepared for the upcoming future. To infinity and beyond..."

Quote from a Student

"The overall experience of the challenge was amazing and the knowledge gained will be very useful for my future learning. It gave me insight into potential careers in the space industry and I am now thinking I could study either astrophysics or aeronautical engineering with the possibility of working for the Australian Space Agency or even NASA."
