Space Challenges is an educational program aimed at developing a generation of young entrepreneurial scientists and technology professionals. Space Challenges comprises a 9-week program of lectures and discussion sessions with experts from top scientific and academic institutions such as NASA, the European Space Agency, the MIT, Harvard, and a number of others. With ABF’s support, over the course of 12 months, Space Challenges will create more than 60 hours of high-quality lectures and content materials, provided by more than 30 lecturers. Lectures will cover a wide range of topics, including physics, material science, robotics, aerospace engineering, technology architecture, and nanotechnology. The program will emphasize practical work and team projects, which are designed to resemble the collaborative work environment that in many ways defines a successful technological star-up venture. The lecturers, who will volunteer their time to travel to Bulgaria or lecture via a teleconference facility, will also mentor the participants in their project work. At the end of the program cycle, the teams will develop technological prototypes. The program can be followed online thanks to its highly interactive platform (http://www.spaceedu.net).
We are performing technical maintenance on our website and the project database will not be accessible until 4 pm today.
