2025 MIT NASA Zero Robotics High School Competition
Program Overview
The Zero Robotics for High School is a 5 week Program from January 13th - February 14th
It is an innovative and inspiring program for high school students that is truly out of this world! The three-week STEM curriculum introduces students to computer programming, robotics, and space engineering, and provides hands-on experience programming SPHERES (Synchronized, Position, Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites).
This is an inviational compeition where 10 to 15 teams will participate across USA and C0deEX team is one of those handful invited teams.
Zero Robotics Competition 2025 for High School is implemented through a partnership between the Aerospace Corporation, MIT Space Enabled Lab and the Innovation Learning Center. The Zero Robotics for High School Program is sponsored by NASA and the ISS National Lab.
Zero Robotics seeks to inspire our next generation of great minds by allowing them unprecedented access to space at the high school level. By making the benefits and resources of the International Space Station tangible to students, Zero Robotics hopes to cultivate an appreciation of science, technology, engineering and math through healthy, immersive, collaborative competition.
Astrobee !!
The Wait is Finally over. We are moving on from SPHERES to Astrobee. See the Video below to know more about Astrobee. This year Students will get an opportunity to write code for Astrobee and see their code competing against other teams in ISS.
Zero Robotics Challenge
Student participants compete to win a technically challenging game by programming their strategies into the Astrobee. Students’ programs control the satellites' speed, rotation, and direction of travel. The students program their satellites to complete competition objectives, for example navigating obstacles, while conserving resources such as fuel. The programs are autonomous - that is, the students are not able to directly control the satellites while they are running.
Each year’s game is motivated by a problem of interest to NASA and MIT.
Students create, edit, save, and simulate projects online. They use a graphical editor to write code, then simulate their programs immediately and see the results using a simulation. The programming interface and simulation are entirely web-based, so ZR does not require any software downloads or computer configuration. The system even allows teams to compete against themselves so that they can test different strategies before finalizing their competition submissions.
Career Pathways Webinar - Hosted by Aerospace Corporation
January 27th, 2025
An all-competitor Career Day hosted by The Aerospace Corporation is scheduled for January 27th. The time of this event will be communicated later. Students from both sessions will be attending this event at the same time as planned by Aerospace Corporation.
Sessions
Sessions will be held in the Physical Class room setting at the C0deEX location at Acton. Students can also join thru Zoom
Classes will be help from January 25th to February 14th. The weekly schedule is below.
Tuesday – 6:30-8:30 PM EDT (Weekly)
Friday – 6:30-8:30 PM EDT (Weekly)
Saturday – 6:30-8:30 PM EDT (Weekly)
Poster Board Presentastion
Teams will have to prepare a poster board with coding development and mission strategy and present it to MIT ZR Team
