HASSE Senior Space School
Based on its unique program design HASSE Senior Space School incorporates problem-based learning, case studies, creative development and management training with an inspired curriculum presented in an exceptional environment.
The unique opportunity to get up close with the experts –astronauts, engineers and scientists at NASA – and to learn about space, science and project management in exciting locations such as Johnson Space Center Houston, Challenger Learning Center, TxRx Robotics Lab and Rice University, turns this expedition into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A balanced mix of challenging team projects, motivational courses, leadership training and cultural studies ensures that students are encouraged to develop their multidisciplinary skills according to their own abilities.
During this two-week mission students develop their business and management expertise leading a multimillion dollar project, test their problem-solving abilities during challenging Mars missions and get together in teams to foster collaborative learning.
HASSE Senior Space School not only operates as a platform to encourage this learning process, but provides support and trained experts to inspire, motivate and enable students’ personal growth.
