About

The Institute of Competition Sciences (ICS) makes learning an exciting challenge for students of all ages. For ICS, it’s not only about creating a tool for students, educators and innovators. It’s about creating academic heroes, and building the structures and systems upon which they can be recognized and rewarded. We aim to do for educational competitions what ESPN has done for professional sports, and much more. The Space Station Innovation Challenge is a  new signature competition from ICS to help engage, inspire, and motivate students to learn through real-world entrepreneurial programming in the burgeoning space industry.

Advisory Board

The Space Station Innovation Challenge is supported by volunteer scientists and business people in the space industry, providing participants with expert perspectives and cutting edge information.
