MENA participated in Maker Collective 2024, where Eng. Salam Abualhayjaa presented her spacesuit prototype, inspiring youth to pursue science and innovation.
This year, during Maker Collective 2025, MENA joined the Micro Talks to share insights from its first analog astronaut mission in Jordan, where visitors engaged with the team and asked the analog astronauts about their unique experience living inside the habitat.
