Mars Challenge is a global educational movement that uses space exploration to inspire young people to design solutions for life on Mars — and for a more sustainable life on Earth.

We believe that thinking beyond our planet helps us care for our own. Through collaborative hackathons, mentorship, and creative learning, Mars Challenge empowers youth from 17+ countries to develop empathy, innovation, and planetary awareness.

Our next chapter, Next Human Learning, reimagines education for the AI age — teaching how to learn, adapt, and create with purpose. We aim to cultivate a generation of explorers who think critically, act ethically, and imagine boldly for the future of humanity.
