On the 25-27. April 201 the team from Leipzig will participate the 7th time at NASA's Moon Buggy Race in Huntsville, Alabama. It is the 20th Anniversary of the competition. NASA management, the International Space Education Institute of Leipzig, many German businessmen and the participating students have prepared themselves extraordinary.

We present:
- representatives of the participating teams from Europe (Germany and Russia)
- representatives of the sponsoring company (Leipzig region, Germany, International)
- technical news (the day before their awards at the Hannover Fair)
- 30-day US Framework Program for students, young engineers and entrepreneurs
- costs, ceiling and composition
- stablishing the "Jesco von Puttkamer Foundation" as a bridge for the youth and future
- "E-Mobility" with the series Moonbuggy as GTA platform for schools

Overview:
Students from the age of 14-18 have to make complex tasks in technology, science, business administration and public relations, to be competitive. In the process they learn the multidisciplinary team work and have excellent opportunities to try out many professions. The integrative program offers, through its financial independence from the core of the company unique opportunities for young people, schools and businesses. NASA's competition is at the end of the bar which initiators and participants face for 7 successfully years in the international league.

New technical innovations are introduced, their integration in the future market of e-mobility and integration in the practical training of the future.

All parties and the initiators have their say and can be questioned. A Moonbuggy will be displayed.
