The second round of the Noosphere Engineering Race is complete, and the jury has named the 11 finalists who will advance in the competition. Noosphere Engineering Race (NER) is the first Ukrainian competition based on the American VEX constructor.

Noosphere traditionally holds Star Track, an innovative tournament in rocketry and space technology, in November. On November 21, the fifth such tournament was held virtually, due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, 37 participants from Dnipro, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv and Cherkasy presented 13 projects at the event.

ActInSpace is an international innovation contest initiated by the French Space Agency (CNES) and supported by the European Space Agency and the ESA’s Business Incubation Centres network. It has been held since 2018. On November 13-14, 2020 around 3600 competitors from 61 cities took part in the hackathon.

This autumn is full of new competitions and initiatives from Noosphere. We recently told you about Noosphere Engineering Race, a brand new method of robotics competition in Ukraine based on the American VEX construction. In this article, we present another original contest – Noosphere Art Rocket Park.

This year, due to the quarantine situation in Ukraine and Dnipro city, we had to postpone many of our events. The BestRoboFest robotics festival for young techies was one of them. However, Noosphere decided to provide new opportunities for young technology enthusiasts in Dnipro by introducing another first to robotics competitions in Ukraine.
