Mission ShakthiSAT: Be Part of the First Global Girl-Led Space Mission!

What if you had the chance to build and launch a satellite to the Moon—no experience required? In this episode, I sit down with Kinjal Dave, UK Ambassador for Mission ShakthiSAT, to talk about this groundbreaking opportunity for girls around the world to get hands-on experience in space science and engineering. Mission ShakthiSAT, an initiative by Space Kidz India, is bringing together 12,000 girls from 108 countries to learn, collaborate, and ultimately help send a satellite into lunar orbit. It’s an ambitious project that’s completely free, designed to make STEM more accessible and inclusive for young women globally. Kinjal and I talk about why programs like this are so important, how hands-on learning can boost confidence, and why you don’t need to be a straight-A student or a coding expert to get involved—just curiosity and a willingness to learn.
