Projects
During SGC, delegates are divided into several smaller workgroups to focus on specific project areas or tasks. Check below for descriptions of the 2006 Project Workgroups and links to their online collaboration sites.
Please note: Anyone can contribute to the online discussions! We encourage all members of the Space Generation to interact on the forums. This helps to ensure that the delegates are exposed to various veiwpoints and a broad range of knowledge. If you cannot attend SGC in person, this is a great way to contribute!- Moon-Mars Workshop - The MoonMars Workshop (MMW) will act as a forum and showcase the visions and concerns of the next generation of space workforce focusing on the manned and robotic exploration of the Moon and Mars. Delegates will be subdivided into additional working groups inside the MMW.
MMW Forum - Stragtic Planning - The "Space Generation" is used to identify a large group of young (minded) people who have an interest in space and an ambition to act. What should those activities be? Where should we focus our time and energy? What projects are most relevant and important for students choosing team projects or thesis topics? This group will create a timeline and specific milestones for the next two, five, and ten years.
Strategic Plan Workgroup Forum - Global Space Policy - The Space Generation is represented at UN meetings by SGAC. What topics are most important to us? What meetings should we attend? How can we give our feedback to a larger global audience? This group will define the way we interact with policy makers around the world by developing a Youth Space Declaration based on the imput from all SGC delegates.
Space Policy & Youth Declaration Workgroup Forum - Space Technology Development - Many new technologies are currently being discussed to help explore space. Which of these will be the most useful? Which could have the most beneficial impact to the people on Earth? This group will identify those technologies which will benefit from investigation over the next two years.
Space Technology Development Workgroup Forum - Space Education - How can we use space exploration to enhance and encourage learning? What is available today that we can use to inspire the next generation of explorers? This group will recommend specific goals and outcomes for the next two years.
Space Education Workgroup Forum - Media, Outreach, and PR for Space - What steps can we take to create and maintain public support for space exploration? What could be added to the current image of space exploration to make the public understand its great value? What industries or companies could benefit from a connection to space exploration? This group will identify specific areas and objectives for increasing space awareness over the next two years..
