What is Earth 2.0

Ready to aim for the stars? Earth 2.0 is your gateway to the future of space exploration! 

This year’s Program, Earth 2.0, in official partnership with Innoventures Education, aligns with the UAE’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and STEM excellence. 
 
Earth 2.0 is an immersive, two-day STEM experience where students step into the role of future scientists, engineers, and explorers. Focused on space exploration, exoplanet discovery, robotics, AI, and sustainability, this hands-on program challenges students to imagine life beyond Earth.
 
Participants will develop critical skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and innovation as they explore what it takes to survive and thrive on a new world. The program culminates in a Capstone Design Challenge, where students create a blueprint for a self-sustaining human colony on their version of "Earth 2.0."
