International Hack into Space Competition

The International Hack into Space Competition, sponsored by iLEAD Schools in collaboration with Out of the Box is a design sprint-like event in which young entrepreneurially-minded learners (grades 6 – 12 grade) gather together in small groups to respond to a problem challenging Space Colonization. At the end of the event, teams will pitch their solution by creating a quick presentation poster. One team will be honored as the top solution.

Following the Hackathon, learners who have been involved in The Space Accelerator will present their ideas. A panel of judges will select the winning teams.
