Applications are now open for the 20th Buraq Space Camp, scheduled to take place in Islamabad from December 25, 2026 to January 3, 2027, under the patronage of OIC COMSTECH. The camp, themed around innovation and discovery, is open to participants between the ages of 14 and 17, giving young students an opportunity to engage with space science and related fields through a structured, hands-on programme.
According to the organisers, the early decision round for applications is currently live, with prospective participants encouraged to apply through the official application link available on the camp’s website. The Buraq Space Camp has been running for two decades, positioning itself as one of the longer standing youth focused science and space education initiatives operating in Pakistan, with each edition typically bringing together students interested in space exploration, science and innovation for an immersive experience during the camp period.
The camp’s continued operation under the patronage of OIC COMSTECH, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation, reflects institutional backing for youth science education initiatives that aim to build interest in STEM fields among younger students across the region. Programmes of this kind are often designed to expose participants to concepts in space science, engineering and related disciplines at an age when interest in these fields can play a meaningful role in shaping future academic and career choices.
With applications now open and the early decision round underway, interested students within the eligible age range are being encouraged to apply promptly through the details provided by the organisers, as the camp prepares for its milestone 20th edition taking place over the winter period spanning the end of 2026 and the beginning of 2027.
