MiniSpaceWorld

Hungarians on the Mars: an engineering challenge for secondary school and university students in Hungary. As our MiniSpaceWorld, a private initiative - with no government support.

This year with over 40 registered teams on 8 May 2010 in Budapest!

And here is the first "raw" video - enjoy:

Registration for The MSW Design Contest 2010 is open.

2010 will be an exciting year for MiniSpaceWorld, with focus on the Moon. We have quite a lot on our agenda:

MiniSpaceWorld (MSW) aims to create a lively, interactive scale model world for Space flight and Astronomy, similar to big Model Railway Layouts. MiniSpaceWorld will use an interdisciplinary Ansatz to address  various cultural and technical aspects of these topics; it will help to get natural and human sciences closer to each other. Knowledge transfer embedded into an attractive leisure time activity will also help in raising sustainable interests for the natural and engineering sciences for pupils. Explicitly featuring everyday products originated from Spaceflight, Space Research and Astronomy – and also using them in the exhibition's operations - will enhance public awareness of the huge potential of Space and acceptance of spending taxpayers' money on Space Activities as well.
