The competition was organised by NASA
Aryan Jain, an Indian High School student, won an application development challenge, Artemis Next-Gen STEM – Moon to Mars, organized by NASA. The challenge required them to develop an application that could aid Mission Artemis in planning and exploration activities of the Lunar South Pole.
Aryan Jain was assigned a group with six high school students from the US to take part in the coding challenge. His team was ‘Team Unity’. Team Unity has been invited to virtually meet with top NASA scientists and Space industry leaders in February.
