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.

The University of Maryland, College Park is a world-class public institution of higher education situated in Prince George's County, Maryland. The Brendan Iribe Center for Computer Science and Engineering is a modern hub for technology in innovation perfect for hosting events.

UPDATE: Parking for the event can be found in Lot 11B, right by the field hockey field, a 5 minute walk from the Iribe Center. There are other parking spots all around campus.
