Here at SEDS-USA, we’re proud of the interdisciplinary projects that we offer students throughout the course of the year. The projects below allow students to think critically, work together, and create something out of this world!
Don’t see a project you like but want to get involved in space?
SEDS is proud to partner with Club for the Future to bring our chapters postcards they can send to space. This is a great activity for any chapter meeting, to bring more members, or to disperse within the community.

SSPI Competition
Earth Observation and Freedom 2024 Competition
Satellite-based earth observation (EO) is playing a critical role in monitoring and responding to the efforts from governments exercising their will across external territories without regard to international law. Within recent political turmoil, EO has been used by various nations to safeguard those nations under external threats.
Your team will research the available EO satellite resources and technologies and design a satellite network that can provide 24×7 monitoring, issue alerts to a range of potential dangers. No experience is necessary and all teams will be assigned a mentor to help them through each phase of the project.
