Space travel is difficult.
There are many challenges to overcome as humans venture further in space.
One of these include moon habitation. In this Design Sprint students encounter the physical environment of the moonscape, the resource limitations, and the psychological and sensory difficulties humans will face.
The student’s challenge is to draw on space knowledge to overcome the challenges to intergalactic space travel.
Students hear from Space researchers and immerse themselves in the Scienceworks Planetarium and get hands on to construct and share physical and digital prototypes.
Registration is required for the STEM Design Sprint 2023.
Where: The workshops are held in the Pumping Station at Scienceworks. For information on how to get here, visit Getting here and parking.
