Synera x NASA Challenge
Multiphysics optical instrument design problem
In this new edition of the Synera Education Challenge, we’re partnering with NASA to offer students a unique learning experience. Participants will tackle a real-world engineering problem inspired by NASA: designing a lightweight structure to save valuable weight during launch. The challenge will begin with an introductory event where the organising team and our industry partner will be presented, along with detailed guidance and resources. Students will then follow a dedicated Synera learning path, form teams and collaboratively develop innovative solutions using Synera’s low-code visual programming platform. The programme offers hands-on experience in generative design, multiphysics simulation and design optimisation, and is flexible in timing and designed to simulate real-world engineering workflows. It will help you build practical skills and boost your professional network.
