We recommend arriving at the ticket pickup ONE HOUR BEFORE your first session or exhibit hall time. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes for ticket pickup and security.

Who can attend?

This event is intended for high school students, grades 9-12, and recent high school graduates.

What do I bring?

Your phone and a charger,
Small bag or backpack to hold materials and swag,
Lunch (or money for lunch) - please note that hard-shelled coolers are not permitted
Notebook and pen
Folder

What should I wear?

We recommend dressing in neat casual or business casual wear. Consider wearing comfortable shoes, as you will be walking from room to room, and around the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. You do not need to wear business professional attire, although you’re welcome to.

Can students drive/be driven to the event?

Yes! Students may drive or be driven to the event. A parking placard will be provided for complimentary parking access. Students may also be dropped off at the entrance to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

Are parents allowed to attend the event with students?

Parents are allowed to enter into the KSC Visitor Complex on a 1:1 ratio (meaning one parent per student). However, parents are not permitted to enter into the exhibit hall or into the breakout sessions, as this takes up student spots. Exceptions are granted in cases where students need parental assistance (or assistance from a care provider) or other accommodations.

Can students be dropped off and picked up by parent/guardian?

Yes. Students may be dropped off at the front gates by a parent/guardian. Please see the FAQ “Are parents allowed to attend the event with students?” for details on entry.

Can homeschooled students attend?

Yes. Homeschool students are welcome to attend. They should register through the general registration webpage (linked above) and should coordinate their own transportation.

What’s the plan for lunch?

Lunch is not provided for attendees during this event. Attendees are welcome to bring their own lunch, in a backpack or soft-shelled cooler only. Hard-shelled coolers are not permitted through the security entrance. Attendees may also purchase lunch at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (options: Orbit Cafe or Gateway Building). Attendees should expect to spend $15-20 on lunch should they opt to purchase lunch on-site.
