Space Summit DC

University of Maryland, College Park

A summit of space talks & activities

The high school students of today will become the next generation of leaders in the space sector. Yet currently, they have mixed levels of understanding and passion in this area due to limited coursework and resources available in mainstream school curricula. This conference will create a forum for young high schoolers to engage with academics, scientists, the private sector, and other space enthusiasts. The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for learning, networking, and fostering new ideas amongst the attendees.
