The education program of Team Puli Space focuses not only on university students and people showing up at science fares. We have also established a teaching program reaching out to primary and high school students with regular presentations and competitions for “wannabe” mad scientists, top engineers, and astronauts.

The admission trends in the whole world are showing that every year less and less students choose a career in engineering and sciences, while solutions for the ever present environmental and technical challenges desperately need exactly such skills. Thinking both locally and globally, it’s in Team Puli Space’s best interest to continuously train new experts in our field. Not only because we are selfish - our long term goal is to develop new techniques required to routinely send spacecraft to the Moon and even further - , so as our team grows it’ll always need new professionals. This concept is also of great importance for Hungary, as the country has always been very proud of their outstanding scientists, many of whom have chosen to study space related themes. The hall of fame includes people like Theodor von Karman, Zoltán Bay, Leó Szilárd and Ferenc Pavlics. Team Puli's participation in the GLXP offers an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how interesting and useful engineering and science are, and we aim to make them more attractive to the younger generations.

To achieve this, we have already held presentations for around 2000 high school students in less than 6 months on topics like the history of space sciences, the Moon, Mars, and other similar topics. We are already working on other approaches like promoting “Space art” or disproving common conspiracy theories about space.

We have also launched a drawing competition for children aged 11-18 years. They have the opportunity to paint a space probe, a Moon base or something along those lines which can be related to space sciences. This competition has been backed by the Hungarian Natural History Museum, various nation-wide public outreach magazines like A Földgömb and Galaktika, the Planetarium of the city of Kecskemét, the Tallér Press and the Makszutov Telescope Shop. The latter is offering the main prize, an amateur astronomical telescope for the talented winners.

Our goal is no secret: Team Puli Space thinks that in the future of our country and planet, education is of crucial importance. Promoting these ideas now may lead to a rise of a new generation who is eager to follow the path set by the pioneers of the GLXP competition.
