About Us

SpaceQuest Middle East North Africa (SpaceQuest MENA) specializes in educational programs that immerse students in the world of space science, ocean science and technology. Through engaging programs, students explore space art, conduct microgravity experiments, send messages from space, discover the different environments in the ocean, and learn more about robotics and coding. This initiative aims to inspire future space scientists and engineers while addressing educational gaps in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

SpaceQuest MENA is a partnership between Bab al Arabia, a top leadership development organization, together with Quest for Excellence U.S.A., a partner with N.A.S.A., and Space Tango, affording students the opportunity to conduct experiments aboard the International Space Station.
