About Zero Robotics Competition:

The 2018 High School Tournament season is from September to December 2018. The tournament is open to groups of high-school (or equivalent) students in the USA, Russia, the listed participating ESA member states, and Australia.

“Zero Robotics” tournaments open the world-class research facilities on the International Space Station (ISS) to high school students. Students write programs at their high schools that may control a satellite in space! The goal is to build critical engineering skills for students, such as problem-solving, design thought process, operations training, and teamwork.
