National Poster Making Competition
The United Nations General Assembly in 1999, declared 4 to 10 October “World Space Week” to celebrate the contribution of space science and technology to the betterment of the human condition. WSW is celebrated in almost 89 countries around the world with the objective to educate people about the benefits that they receive from space, excite young people about science and gather public support for space programs. Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), being the National Space Agency, has been organizing World Space Week (WSW) activities in Pakistan since 2005. A large number of events and activities are organized throughout Pakistan, primarily, to create awareness amongst students, decision-makers and the general public about the peaceful uses of outer-space, the benefits of space-based assets to humanity, and the progress made by Pakistan in space technology and its applications. This year, SUPARCO is organizing a National Level Poster Making Competition with the World Space Week (WSW) theme of 2012 "Friends in Space". Students aged 8 to 11 years are invited to design a poster based on the theme.
