Do you want to be part of Australia’s space workforce?

There are activities you can explore now that will prepare you for your career journey in the space industry.

Most camps happen during school holidays and are organised by groups like the YMCA Space Squad, South Australian Space School and the Australian Youth Aerospace Forum.

Get a group together and compete in coding opportunities like ‘Code like a Girl’.

Participate in school challenges like the Australian Space Design Competition, reach out to join the Kibo Robots Programming Challenge, or get your school involved with the GLOBE Program.

These are a great way to gain an inclusive career experience in the space sector.
