Two private Australian organisations, One Giant Leap Australia Foundation and Cambrian Defence & Space, have joined forces to bring space education outreach to Pacific Island nations by offering scholarships to Pacific Island nation students to attend the Global Space Challenge 2024.
The Global Space Challenge incorporates specialists from the space community, astronauts, and prominent space leaders to solve space problems and is available to students in years 7 and 8. This October, a larger number of Pacific Island students will be attending, thanks to the teaming of One Giant Leap Australia and Cambrian Defence & Space.
