MBRSC ignites the spark of space exploration in young minds through Explorer Space Camp 2023

Dubai, UAE: The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) today announced the completion of its Explorer Space Camp 2023. The engaging camp held over three weeks in December, aimed at nurturing curiosity and interest in space sciences among youth, was a remarkable success, resonating with over 40 budding space enthusiasts aged 7 to 17.

The camp, which was divided into separate sessions for girls and boys, as well as a one for kids for the first time ever, provided an exhilarating platform for young participants to learn, grow, and enjoy the wonders of space exploration.

Throughout the Explorer Space Camp 2023, students were actively involved in a mix of theoretical and practical workshops, activities, and competitions. The enriching agenda included building space missions, exploring space with drones, delving into the basics of space engineering, constructing rovers, creating their own CubeSats, and navigating the thrilling challenges of space exploration using robots.

The programme was led by project leaders and team members from MBRSC's various project and mission teams. These activities were designed to extend beyond conventional classroom learning, offering students a hands-on experience in the field of space exploration.

Hosted at MBRSC headquarters, the camp also granted participants exclusive tours of the Centre’s various divisions,
