The Phoenix Space LaunchPad Challenge offers upper high/secondary school and lower-level undergraduate university students the opportunity to develop and present a creative, idea-based solution to a space science-themed problem. This competition affords students an opportunity to apply their classroom learning and research to solving scientific challenges, leverage creativity, and develop presentation and teamwork skills while connecting to and competing against a global community of like-minded students who have an interest in space science.
Entry is available to learners around the world aged 15-19. They will form teams of up to 3 to develop and present a solution. Each team may also have a mentor to guide their approach.
Initial entries are due by August 10th and the competition concludes during World Space Week, in early October 2022.
