The idea is to be as spontaneous as possible. Traditional Powerpoint presentations are discouraged (but not forbidden) and things like panel, round-tables, demos, etc., are encouraged. The event will be “seeded” with several people willing and ready to give talks. While every attendee is urged to give a talk (or plan a session of just questions!) we will have speakers who are experts on space exploration to ensure the time you spend at SpaceUp Phoenix is worthwhile and who can also answer your questions and be on your panels. The whole vibe is very fun and informal.
Join other space enthusiasts, professionals, advocates, students, educators and scientists to talk about space.! At a SpaceUp unconference, you decide the topics, schedule and structure of the session. How? Everyone who attends SpaceUp is encouraged to join a discussion, propose a topic or give a talk. We will have some scheduled keynotes from local space scientists & technologists. Professional Development credit for K-12 teachers sponsored by RealTimeSTEAM.
Here’s a look at what A Day at SpaceUp looks like. Here’s one of our keynotes from SpaceUp Phoenix 2015.
