The Cities in Space® Student Competition and Conference!
In your classroom sit the future leaders and settlers of new worlds.
The Cities in Space® Competition offers students access to those who currently work in the space industry and space-oriented academia. In February, students will come together to present, compete and learn from one another about building a new world beyond Earth and how to create a surviving and thriving community. At Cities in Space®, in addition to their own project entries, competing students listen to speakers from a broad array of STEAM-related backgrounds, and interact with scientists, engineers, NASA experts, new space leaders, and astronauts.
In addition to these personal and professional interactions, students experience the larger space world through film screenings, fellow students presentations and music performances.
With a strong commitment to STEAM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education, Project Based Learning, and Social Emotional Learning, the Cities in Space® Competition is aimed at creating a structure that will enable the human race to survive and thrive into a new civilization in space.
The STEAMSPACE team is dedicated to opening the space frontier, in our lifetimes, to everyone. Beyond the boundaries of race, gender, ideological and socioeconomic difference, STEAMSPACE Education Outreach™ believes in opening this new path to any and all who would like to go. In order to be prepared for the worlds of free space and settlement, the human race must consider what to do once the traveling is over and we have arrived. Our Cities in Space STEAM Competition for kids provides an immersive environment for students to explore all aspects of settlement design and development, while allowing them access to leading industry and academic professionals and a community of their peers, all growing towards our collective future in space.

The team’s digital work will be onboard the Peregrine Lunar Lander designed by Astrobotic.
Registration Cost: $45 per team.
By creating your team and integrating engineering, art, architecture, and science you will create your own model.
Your team can focus on prototyping your Emerging Technology project or Colony Design.
Lunch is included for Student Teams, Lead Teachers, and registered chaperones.
Suggested Team Size: approximately 10-12 students, however, this is only a recommendation and team size is up to the discretion of the supervising teacher(s).
Schools may register more than one team.
You may choose between 3 choices for location: Mars; the Moon or Free Space.
Colonies are based upon a settling human population of 1,000 people with the understanding that this colony is focused on sustainability and growth.
There are 3 categories for a project: 3D Model, Video, and Emerging Technology.
As you choose your location please make sure to research the environment, requirements, and data on your chosen location and incorporate the appropriate challenges your colony will face in your model or video.
