The All Nations University, Ghana, is partnering with some key players in the African Space Industry to organise the first Space Science with Arts Competition for high schools across Africa as its 2024 World Space Week activity. The online contest will feature high schools from over 20 African countries and will be conducted mainly in English, French, and Portuguese.
For the first time, the university is incorporating Space Arts into its contests. This includes a space poetry competition, a drawing competition, and a music competition. For the science category, participating students will take an online class on Space Signal Processing, Space Data Analysis, and Remote Sensing and will afterwards be given related assignments to perform several experiments in a competitive approach.
The preliminary stages of the competition will be overseen by a panel of judges, while the final stages will involve both the panel judges and a public voting system on social media. An invitation is extended to high schools across Africa, and registration can be done here. Registration ends on 27th September 2024.

About All Nations University
After the successful design and launch of Ghana’s first satellite (GhanaSat-1) into space in 2017, the All Nations University-Space Systems Technology Laboratory (ANU-SSTL) initiated the African Space Station Project, which is a robust and sustainable online facility for basic but practical space science education in Africa. The project aims to reach a million students by August 2027 and has reached and benefited over 1,450 students from 14 nations in less than a year. The facility is accessible to African schools.
