WE ARE THE SPACE AGE!

Each and every day devices, products and services that came from space exploration impact our lives here on Earth.

From medicine, movies, farming and mining, to navigating with GPS on cell phones, weather forecasting, and eye glasses— around the world, there are few areas of our lives that are not affected by space technologies and “know how.”

So, what’s next?

That’s where you come in.

Two hundred students and a number of teachers from Gauteng Province will get to explore space and design solutions to problems in TEWS Workshops with artists, engineers, biologists, authors, astronomers, geologists and even, perhaps, astronauts.

Workshop participants will also earn the opportunity to be among the twelve students and a number of teachers selected for an all-expenses paid trip in 2021 to the United States to visit Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Camp in Huntsville, Alabama and tour Washington, DC or travel across South Africa learning about the nations’ rapidly evolving space program.*

Scientists are hoping that the SKA, a massive radio telescope, will answer questions about the Universe including how it began, why it is expanding and whether it contains life beyond our planets.
