Rules:
1. Teams of minimum 3 and maximum 5.
2. Work Journal - All work must be recorded on an online document
on Google Drive which will be shared with the respective school
(one teacher id must also be provided from the school as a local
supervisor). This journal will be accessible to the judges from start
to finish of the competition.
3. Final presentation on the day of competition can be done using
the same document or a PPT is also acceptable.

As humanity ventures deeper into the cosmos, the psychological Number = 3 to 5
well-being of astronauts becomes increasingly important. For life
beyond earth, humans will have to undertake long-term journeys in One Team Per School
space. Long-duration space journeys can lead to isolation, stress,
and emotional challenges especially for children. To address these
issues, we invite you to design an innovative emotional support
chat bot. Your chat bot will be a digital companion, designed to
provide comfort, alleviate loneliness, and enhance the mental
health of astronauts on their interstellar voyages.
Rules:
1. Teams of minimum 3 and maximum 5
2. Chat-bot functioning must be in the form of a executable
computer programme
3. User interface and design can be demon physical bot (physical
bot is not necessary)
4. Chat-bot is designed to possible emotional requirements of
children aged 5 – 10 on a long-term space journey
Rocket General Requirements Grades 9 – 12 Sports Field Plastic bottles, motors, elastic materials,
Launch 1. Rocket Construction: paper cutters, light weight cardboard
o The rocket must be made primarily from plastic soda bottles (e.g., Number = 3 to 5
1L or 2L bottles).
o Modifications like adding fins, a nose cone, or decorations are One Team Per School
allowed but must not include hazardous materials.
o The bottle must not be structurally altered (e.g., no cutting the
pressure chamber).
2. Propellant:
o Only water and air pressure may be used as the propellant.
o No chemicals, explosives, or other substances are permitted.
3. Launcher Compatibility:
o Contestants will provide their own rocket launcher.

Safety Rules
1. Materials:
o No sharp edges or metal parts in the rocket structure.
o All components must be safe to handle and not pose a risk of
injury.
2. Launch Procedure:
o Rockets must be launched from the designated area.
o Participants and spectators must stand at a safe distance as
specified by the organizers.
3. Pressure Limits:
o Maximum air pressure must not exceed a specified limit 100 psi.

Competition Goals
1. Distance Challenge:
o The rocket must travel as far as possible from the launch point.

2. Aesthetics and Design:
