Dubai – UAE, The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has announced the opening of registration for the Summer Space Explorer Camp 2026, inviting students aged 12 to 14 to take part in an interactive learning experience designed to introduce them to space science and the UAE’s growing space sector.

Taking place at MBRSC, the camp will be organised in two separate sessions, with the boys’ camp running from 13 to 16 July and the girls’ camp from 20 to 23 July 2026. It offers participants a structured programme that combines learning, exploration, and hands-on activities in an engaging environment, under the guidance of MBRSC’s team of engineers, researchers, and space professionals.

Through the camp, students will have the opportunity to meet UAE astronauts and learn more about their journeys, experiences, and contributions to the country’s human spaceflight programme. Participants will also be introduced to the fundamentals of space missions and gain a clearer understanding of how space science and technology support exploration, research, and innovation.

The programme will further feature robotics activities and scientific experiments, enabling students to apply key concepts in a practical and accessible way. These sessions are designed to encourage curiosity, problem-solving, teamwork, and creative thinking, while helping students connect classroom knowledge with real-world applications in the space sector.

The Summer Space Explorer Camp forms part of MBRSC’s continued efforts to engage young learners and inspire future generations to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and space exploration. Through educational initiatives such as the camp, MBRSC aims to nurture national talent and strengthen youth interest in the UAE’s space ambitions.
