Event description

What Would It Take For Humans To Live In Outer Space?


Over the course of this action-packed school holiday program, the Galactic Innovators program will see students stepping into the role of space pioneers as they explore what it takes to help humans live beyond Earth. As scientists and engineers around the world work to send humans to Mars and beyond, they’re facing big questions. How do we travel across space for months or even years at a time? How can we grow food, recycle water, and build sustainable habitats in places with no atmosphere? What technologies will we need to survive and thrive off-world?

In this action packed program, students will take on real-world challenges inspired by space exploration, from designing interplanetary spacecraft to building futuristic farms that could grow food on the Moon or Mars. Using big picture thinking and learning about the latest innovations from industry, they’ll work to prototype solutions and present their ideas to a panel of space innovation experts.

With industry speakers, hands-on experiences and a tour of the Aviation Australia hangar and flight training facilities, students will leave this program inspired by the opportunities available to them in the future of the aviation industry. Whether you dream of becoming an astronaut, an engineer, or a planetary farmer, Galactic Innovators will leave you inspired to imagine life beyond Earth, and how you could help make it happen.
