Calling all science and engineering students! Showcase your programming skills with Astrobee on the ISS

Attention science and engineering students across the UAE!

Here’s an out-of-this-world opportunity for you to flex your programming muscles.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre, in collaboration with NASA and JAXA, invites you to participate in the 5th Cycle of the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge.

Picture this: You, sitting right here on Earth, but controlling a robot in space.

That’s right! You’ll have the chance to operate Astrobee, a cutting-edge robot currently stationed onboard the International Space Station (ISS).

It’s an exhilarating chance to showcase your programming prowess while making your mark in space exploration history.

This isn’t your typical coding challenge.  It’s a journey into the cosmos, a chance to be part of something truly extraordinary.

So, gear up, UAE students, and get ready to send your commands to Astrobee as it floats gracefully in the vastness of space.

The stars await your coding genius!
