Earth 2.0
Students design and build sustainable worlds from scratch, mastering STEM, ethics and collaboration through projects that reimagine eco-friendly societies.
Design and Build Sustainable Worlds
A school-based challenge where teams design and construct eco-worlds from scratch, integrating STEM, sustainability, leadership and teamwork for visionary, real-world learning.
Earth 2.0 empowers students to design and build sustainable worlds from scratch, focusing on eco-systems, ethical choices and collaborative construction in an inclusive, school-friendly format.
Why this matters
Theoretical lessons often miss creative, from-scratch world-building. There are gaps in blending ethics, resource management and team dynamics, and challenges in engaging students with scalable, budget-friendly eco-projects.

The Journey
Students move through three phases — sustainable design, hands-on build, and a final presentation of their new world.
01Design
Students brainstorm innovative solutions to sustainability challenges. They research environmental science, sketch eco-world blueprints and plan sustainable systems like renewable energy and biodiversity, sparking creativity and critical thinking.
02Build
Participants construct scale models using everyday materials and 3D printing, assembling greenhouses, living quarters and eco-systems while applying real engineering principles.
03Present
Teams showcase their sustainable worlds through engaging presentations and virtual simulations, explaining designs, demonstrating prototypes and building communication confidence.
What Students Gain
Elevate STEM Learning: from-scratch design boosts critical thinking and retention by up to 40%.
Integrate Soft Skills: leadership, presentation and teamwork in every world-building phase.
Focus on Sustainability: tackle real issues like renewable energy and biodiversity.
Inclusive & Adaptable: every voice is heard; scalable for class sizes with 1:15 ratios for under-18s.
Curriculum Fit: aligns with environmental science standards; includes teacher tools.
Parent Appeal: builds resumes with NASA-inspired credentials.
What Our Students Say
Primus, 14
SkillUp Camp
“This is already my third camp with SkillUp! These camps have given me so much experience and confidence. I used to be really shy about speaking in front of people, but now I can present ideas clearly and even lead group discussions.”
Pachate, 13
SkillUp Camp
“Before coming to this camp, I didn’t know a single person, but within a few hours I already had a whole team of new friends! I learned so much about space exploration and how to explain difficult ideas in English.”
Champ, 12
SkillUp Camp
“I made friends on the first day, and we worked together on our project every single day. I learned how to research, design sustainable systems, and present in front of everyone. The mentors were really kind and helped me improve my English a lot.”
What Participants Get
Signed completion certificate
Every student receives a certificate personally signed by a NASA astronaut — a standout addition to any portfolio.
Signed program T-shirt
An exclusive signed T-shirt that commemorates their achievements on the program.
Photograph with a NASA astronaut
An unforgettable photo with a NASA astronaut. Program-dependent on which expert attends.
