Space Quizzes
National Space Quiz
A nationwide competition testing students' knowledge on astronomy, space missions, astrophysics, and space history across junior, senior, and open categories.
Space Ideathons (Next-Gen Space Innovation)
Pitching competitions focused on brainstorming bold, disruptive ideas for sustainable space exploration, space debris mitigation, space mining, and space tourism.
About the ideathons
An ideathon is a competition of ideas. Teams develop a proposal for a new approach to a problem and pitch it to a panel. No working product is needed: what counts is the quality of the idea and how clearly it is argued.
Focus areas
- Sustainable space exploration: exploring space in ways that can continue for the long term.
- Space debris mitigation: reducing the risk from the growing number of objects in orbit.
- Space mining: using resources found on the Moon, asteroids or elsewhere.
- Space tourism: opening spaceflight to more people, safely and responsibly.
What makes a strong pitch
A clear problem, an original idea, an honest look at challenges and risks, and a realistic sense of what it would take to make the idea work.
