The project « Engineering Science Quest 
(ESQ) Explores Space» delves into the 
exciting world of space in a series of 
hands-on activities delivered within the 
community. Participants will explore a range 
of space-related topics, such as coding a 
virtual space vehicle to pickup space 
debris, using machine learning to 
communicate with an alien in a new language, 
and making a greenhouse to grow food in the 
cold, harsh conditions of space. Youth will 
learn about the connections between STEM and 
space, opening their eyes to endless 
possibilities that are “out of this world”.
