During World Space Week, a series of activities will be organized across UNIVERSEH to engage students, staff, schools and the wider community in exploring this year’s theme, Rocket Revolutions.
The programme will combine educational, practical, cultural, and social experiences, including sessions, hands-on workshops, expert talks and discussions, opportunities to discover UNIVERSEH courses and initiatives, space-themed gaming activities, and film screenings with accompanying discussions.
What is the World Space Week?
The General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed in 1999 the World Space Week; a week to celebrate the contributions of space science and technology to the betterment of the human condition.
World Space Week is now the largest annual space event in the world. It helps build up the workforce of tomorrow by inspiring students; demonstrates visible public support for the space programme; educates the public about space activities; and fosters international cooperation in space outreach and education.
