Team Summit 2013
April 12, 2013
In early April Robert and Sven went to 2013 Team Summit. This year it was in Santiago de Chile, hosted by fellow GLXP team Angelicum. All 23 current GLXP teams have to attend the annual Team Summits to discuss status, progress and changes to the competitions. Beside that it also a good opportunity to network with other space enthusiasts and spy on other teams :-). Besides the X-PRIZE Foundation (XPF), the managing organization, main sponsor Google, co-sponsor Shell, and several representatives of the Chilean space industry were also there.

Axe Apollo Space Academy - Last Weekend to Vote
February 16, 2013
Being Part-Time-Scientists, we are always interested in space exploration, especially those that involve civilians like us. And particularly when it is ONE OF US! To that end, we would like to direct your attention to the Axe Apollo Space Academy and ask that you vote for Part-Time Scientists’ own Tom Schachner.
As explained on the contest website ".. Axe is searching the world for a few brave civilians for the opportunity of a lifetime - a trip to space..."
The winner will have the chance to fly 103km up to space with SXC, and we need your help! We would like to get as many people as possible to vote for Tom Schachner!
Remember, a vote for Tom is a vote for Part-Time Scientists everywhere!

Buzz Aldrin at Campus Party Brazil
The team is having a great adventure at Campus Party Brazil. Here’s a post from Part-Time-Scientists’ own Wes Faler.
I wish my cell phone really worked here – I actually miss live Tweeting observations.

Campus Party 2013!
January 28, 2013
Hell yeah, it's a party!
We've sent three members of the Part-Time-Scientist team to Brazil for this week's Campus Party in São Paulo. For those of you who are not familiar with Campus Party, it is a week-long global technology festival. According to their website, "Since 1997, Campus Party has brought young, passionate technologists throughout Europe, Latin and South America together to collaborate, learn and promote innovation." There will be thousands of campers (campuseros) networking and participating in lectures, workshops and competitions.

Campus Party Brazil!
January 17, 2013
If you are heading to Campus Party Brazil 2013 (Jan 28 - Feb 3), come and see us!
For those of you not familiar with Campus Party, it is an annual week-long, 24 hour a day technology festival and LAN Party held in several countries.
The Boot Camp or Camp Robotics is a traditional activity at Campus Party, but for this edition we have prepared a very special surprise. The scheme is the same as ever: six campers will be selected during the event to work in teams developing software and programming robots that can end up on the moon in search of water or minerals. Yes, the moon!
That’s because this year’s Boot Camp will be supervised by Part-Time-Scientist Team Members Cládio Martins, Wesley Faler and Thomas Kunze. And you have the chance to work shoulder to shoulder with them throughout the event.
To participate in the selection, you must be a registered camper in the event and send your CV to our own mission members to the addresses bootcamp@ptscientists.com . All Resumes MUST BE SENT IN ENGLISH. On 01/25/2013 we will disclose here the list of selected people. You don’t want to miss this chance, right?
