About
Project marathon
Students will be divided into the groups and given the same task.
Each team develops its unique project and presents it at the end of the school. A team that offers the best (workable and unconventional) solution wins a prize.
We have prepared several curious tasks. So, there will be more than one winning team.Extra
Throughout the program, experts will give interviews and lectures on the main topic and extra classes on soft skills.
As the result, each student will gain extensive knowledge in space systems and obtain competencies like team work, creative thinking, networking and presentation skills.
