The UAE is tapping the potential of the young minds to realise the ambitious and futuristic space programmes, top officials from the UAE Space Agency have said.
The UAE Space Agency is aiming to transform the country as a hub for space education, said Dr Mohammed Al Ahbabi, director-general of the agency.
The space agency is helping schools and universities with seed fund to start degree course in space science, have astronauts give lectures at schools, conduct summer camps and open research centres.
"Yes, we are doing a lot of exciting stuff. We had astronauts giving lectures to students at schools. And when asked what they want to be in life, at least some of the students replied they wanted to be astronauts," he said, adding that these were good signs.
"We are conducting four summer camps with one in Australia. We are including some space topics in the school curriculum. We are doing a lot of activity engaging young minds, especially in the field of astronomy."
