Have your dreams of what the future of space may bring kept you busy?  In its ongoing mission to promote the new space industry, NewSpace Chicago intends to host a virtual Student Space Congress in on November 7 and 8, 2024, from 3 PM CT to 6 PM CT. Through this event, we want to provide students – high school, college, and graduate – from across the country and world the opportunity to present their space related projects, research, and work to a broad public and industry-specific audience.  

Indeed, beyond the student participants, NewSpace Chicago welcomes companies and thought leaders in the broader space industry to attend the Congress.  Students will then be provided the opportunity to share their work with participants in the space industry and benefit from key networking opportunities.  At the same time, employers will meet bright new talent in the space industry.  Additionally, our virtual Space Congress will be open to the public. Through this window into present and future space, NewSpace Chicago hopes to inspire the next generation of space enthusiasts as well as provide international community an exciting perspective into an exciting time.

So, plan to join NewSpace Chicago at its virtual Space Congress this coming Fall, where students will exhibit innovative and novel work in a broad range of astronomy, astrophysics, commerce, engineering, law, policy, and science related topics as it applies to the broader space industry.
