Space Agency Launches 11 Youth Training Programmes
BSA Chief Executive Dr Mohammed Ibrahim Al Asiri said the agency's third consecutive participation reflects its commitment to raising awareness of space sciences and advanced technologies among young people, describing investment in youth as investment in Bahrain's future.
Programmes target two age groups — nine to 14 and 15 to 35 — and include a Lunar Colony Hackathon, developed in partnership with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Khalifa Al Mubara Foundation, challenging participants to design a moon base capable of sustaining human life.
The agency is also delivering training for the first time under the Youth to Youth initiative through its "Bahrainis Whose Ambitions Reach Space" programme, with nine trainees enrolled in its inaugural edition.
Engineer Ayesha Khalid Al Haram, head of the Youth Orbit Committee, said strong public interest reflects the next generation's passion for exploration and emerging technologies.
