SUMMARY:New Earth: Students Design Rockets and Build a Moon Base in Minecraft
DESCRIPTION:New Earth is a free global build inside Minecraft\, open to students aged 7 to 18 anywhere in the world. Students come into our own Minecraft server\, a bespoke world built for safety for this kind of event. It runs in two parts. From Monday 5 to Wednesday 7 October\, students join the world\, find their way around\, and are handed the question the whole event is built on: you are going to the Moon\, what would you design for your rocket? Each student gets their own plot of land and builds their own rocket on it\, and they need to be able to say why it is that shape and what it is carrying. On the night of the 7th – that world then closes. On Friday 9 October a new world opens and the rockets have arrived. Students spend 24 hours building a Moon base together\, in collaboration with students from around the world\, following the sun so each region picks up where the last one left off. Students take part on their own devices and their own accounts\, so there is nothing for a school to buy and nothing for a district to approve. Schools can register a team and individual students can join on their own. \nRun by STEMAIVERSE\, a US 501(c)(3) delivering STEM and AI programs to students internationally. \nRegister at stemaiverse.org/newearth\ \n\nWe’re pleased to share aerospace-related opportunities with our community. Please note that this event is organised by an external provider and is not affiliated with the Aerospace Gateway to Industry Schools Program.

SUMMARY:The Future of Long Haul Flying School Holiday Program
DESCRIPTION:What Does The Future of Long Haul Flying Look Like? \nOver the course of two-action packed days\, the Future of Long Haul Flying School Holiday Program with Aviation Australia will see students exploring how airlines around the world are tackling the challenge of distance as they launch ultra-long-haul flights to move passengers around the world. \nAustralia is one of the most geographically remote countries in the world\, and with that\, up until today\, many parts of the world have been unreachable in a direct flight. With recent innovations in the aerospace industry meaning that new ultra-long-range aircraft will soon be able to connect the East Coast of Australia with parts of Europe and North America in a direct flight\, airlines and airports across the country are now looking at how they will cater for ultra-long-haul routes. \nThe Future of Long Haul Flying program will see students participating in challenges\, hearing from guest speakers\, and touring hangar and training facilities as they design a series of ultra-long-haul routes to connect Cairns with the world. \nOver the course of the program students will be redesigning a new section of the Cairns Airport international terminal to cater for passengers about to board a +20-hour flight\, before they then explore the in-flight experience\, sustainability factors to consider\, and the marketing of this new route. Students will then conclude the program by presenting their ideas to a panel of aviation experts for judging and consideration. \nThis is an action-packed program of experiences for young people passionate about aviation and interested in learning about all the exciting opportunities available to them in the aviation industry. \nTo find out more about what to expect\, head to: www.bopindustries.com/post/innovation-in-aviation

SUMMARY:Brisbane:  Galactic Innovators
DESCRIPTION:[Please note:  This activity is open to students from any school.  Students from an Aerospace Gateway School are eligible for discounted ticket pricing] \nWhat Would It Take For Humans To Live In Outer Space? \nOver the course of this action-packed school holiday program\, the Galactic Innovators program will see students stepping into the role of space pioneers as they explore what it takes to help humans live beyond Earth. As scientists and engineers around the world work to send humans to Mars and beyond\, they’re facing big questions. How do we travel across space for months or even years at a time? How can we grow food\, recycle water\, and build sustainable habitats in places with no atmosphere? What technologies will we need to survive and thrive off-world? \nIn this action packed program\, students will take on real-world challenges inspired by space exploration\, from designing interplanetary spacecraft to building futuristic farms that could grow food on the Moon or Mars. Using big picture thinking and learning about the latest innovations from industry\, they’ll work to prototype solutions and present their ideas to a panel of space innovation experts. \nWith industry speakers\, hands-on experiences and a tour of the Aviation Australia hangar and flight training facilities\, students will leave this program inspired by the opportunities available to them in the future of the aviation industry. Whether you dream of becoming an astronaut\, an engineer\, or a planetary farmer\, Galactic Innovators will leave you inspired to imagine life beyond Earth\, and how you could help make it happen. To find out more about what to expect\, head to: www.bopindustries.com/post/innovation-in-aviation \nFrequently Asked Questions  \nWho Is This Program For?\nThis program is open to all students\, specifically those who have an interest in aviation. The program will run as 2 x streams with a primary program for students in Grades 4-6 and a senior program for students in Grades 7-10. \nWhen Does The Program Run?\nThe program will be running on Wednesday the 14th and Thursday the 15th of January 2026. This is a 2-day program\, with each day running from 9:00am – 3:00pm. Students may be dropped off from 8:30am and collected by 3:30pm. \nWhere Will The Program Be Held?\nThe program will be held at Aviation Australia’s campus. 15 Boronia Road\, Brisbane Airport\, Queensland. \nWhat Do Students Need To Bring?\nWe ask that students bring morning tea\, lunch and a device (laptop/tablet/etc.) if they have one. All other equipment will be provided. Please note that students need to wear fully closed in shoes for both days.  \nDo Students Need Any Prior Experience?\nStudents don’t need any prior experience for this program. We will be able to cater to different skill levels and interest areas. We just ask that students are willing to participate\, and ready to learn about the amazing world of aviation. \nIf You Have Any Other Questions\, Please Don’t Hesitate To Contact The BOP Team At info@bopindustries.com.
