NORTHSTARSky, Strategy & Space Conclave
An evening for the curious: learn to read the sky, experience astronomy hands-on, and turn a space-enabled idea into impact.

FORMAT
A 3–3.5 hour evening of observing, creating and pitching.
WEATHER PLAN
Sky simulation, telescope handling and the sprint continue indoors.
