Register for the 2026 Space Colony Competition
@Everyone Registration is open for the 2026 Space Colony Competition, and we’d love for you to join us!

This international challenge invites teams of up to six elementary or middle school students to design and build a sustainable space colony using recycled materials. Last year, 94 teams from around the world participated,
and we’re excited to welcome even more this year.
Students explore real-world space challenges, apply STEM concepts, and share their creativity on a global stage. Every team receives a personalized video of feedback from a STEM professional—which may include NASA Mission Control specialists, engineers, or computer scientists.

@Doreen Campbell The Pitsco Kits are a convenient option with all-in-one materials, but they’re not required to run Mission to the Moon. We want educators to have options- whether that means using the kits, pulling from materials already in your classroom, or getting creative with substitutions. Our goal is to make the program flexible so you can choose what works best for you and your students.
