COLOMBIA SPACE SCHOOL is an interdisciplinary, transcurricular educational program for students between 10 and 18 years of age.

In association with the Departments of Educational Programs of Space Centers, we design a manned mission to Mars; We simulate and test all the aspects that a NASA mission would need. We design, build and launch a rocket, a landing device (Lander), and an exploration vehicle (Rover).

The program is a pioneer in Colombia and Latin America in the participation of Educational Programs through Space Centers since 2009. The program seeks to discover students interested in sciences and applied arts in space science.

This experience entails growth in terms of knowledge in cutting-edge research accompanied by a high level of emotional development as it involves teamwork, commitment and responsibility. Given the characteristics of this program, the academic level is enhanced, the profile of the participants is raised and a whole range of possibilities opens up in terms of inter-institutional relations and academic prestige for the school that join this initiative.
