The Astronauts Memorial Foundation is trilled to welcome back the KSCIA International Academy and their bright young minds from Brazil and Portugal for an immersive, week-long space camp at The Center for Space Education!

From exploring the history of human spaceflight to diving into the challenges of living and growing plants in space, these students are getting hands-on with the science and innovation that powers our journey beyond Earth.

They also roll up their sleeves for robotics workshops, learning to design, build, and program machines like those used in exploration missions on Mars and beyond!

The energy, curiosity, and creativity these international students bring is inspiring — and a powerful reminder that the future of space is global.

Hosted at the heart of Kennedy Space Center, this program is a launchpad for tomorrow’s explorers, scientists, and innovators.
