The multiverse of Space Camp continues to grow with new alliances, and this time with a very special team. From the Universitat Politècnica de València, the Plutón UPV collective joins our mission as mentors at Hackton, one of the stand-out activities of the space camp.
From Valencia to Pluto 😉
Interplanetary guides in a unique experience
The Hackathon is an activity that challenges our young participants to solving technological challenges inspired by a real mission to Mars. Split into teams, they design creative solutions using skills in programming, science, design, storytelling, communication and more.
Thanks to this new collaboration, Crew members will be mentored by passionate and experienced university students, members of the Pluto UPV science outreach team. Their role will be accompanying the teams as mentors, facilitating the process, resolving doubts and contributing their experience in science, technology and teamwork.
Who are Pluton UPV
Plutón is a group of students from the Universitat Politècnica de València that develops scientific dissemination activities and organizes technological and creative events in the university environment. With a fresh, young and multidisciplinary approach, they foster active learning and curiosity through hackathons, workshops and training days.
In the words of the team: "We believe in the power of science to transform society and the need to share knowledge in an accessible, fun and engaging way."
A partnership that raises the level of experience
This collaboration greatly enriches the experience of the young participants, bringing them closer to real university references, and showing them possible training paths within the STEAM field.
At Space Camp we believe that inspiration comes from meeting with passionate people, and we are deeply grateful to Pluton UPV for embarking on this interplanetary adventure.
