About this service
The Space Challenge is a practical educational journey designed for students from Middle School to Higher Education. It connects them to a real space mission through interdisciplinary challenges and hands-on projects. Students develop skills in science, technology, engineering, and teamwork by designing, programming, and operating an educational satellite. The program is structured in three progressive phases: Space Mission Concept and Design, Project Concept and Design (using an Educational Satellite Kit), and Orbital Satellite and Launch, where selected teams develop, integrate, test, and monitor the operation of a real orbital satellite after launch. The methodology is based on Project-Based Learning (PBL) and a ‘Hands On’ concept.
