200 Bulgarian students between the ages of 11 and 15 will be able to attend NASA space camps in Turkey this summer. Dilyana Georgieva, programme manager of the Space Camp Türkiye 2025 programme, told Radio Varna. The competition for participation is already in full swing.

Space Camp Türkiye is one of two NASA-designed space training centres in the world and the only one for Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Located in the city of Izmir, Turkey, the camp's main goal is to motivate young people from around the world to pursue careers in science and technology. The programme includes the use of real-life simulators and training devices that replicate life and work in space.

Bulgaria is participating in the programme for the 17th consecutive year. To date, some 1,500 Bulgarian children have participated in the NASA camps in Izmir.
