A WEEK OF IDEAS AND CONNECTIONS
The week will unfold as follows, with each day centered on a unique theme.
Hear from and be inspired by major icons during interviews with a diverse range of speakers who are making world-changing impact; check out the on-demand content; join workshops (known as Discovery Sessions) to learn about something new or dive deep into a topic you already love; take part in the live Q&A; and join the community chat (based on pass type — see pass details below for more details).
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Snehadeep Kumar, 21, founder and CEO of Nebula Space Organisation, is an innovator putting India’s space ambitions into the hands of students and common people. Sparked by seeing Cyclone Fani’s devastation in his teenage years, he realised that real-time satellite imagery wasn’t a privilege it should be a right. What followed was a journey of bold invention: cutting CubeSat costs by 98%, sourcing materials from neighbourhood shops, and using locally made components to challenge the billion-dollar status quo.
What began as an online Discord-fueled brainstorming group in 2021 has matured into a student-led space startup. Snehadeep and his team are now building India’s first gamma-ray detection CubeSat, ambitiously dubbed SABHASAT. Their prototype is not only cost-effective but also green-conscious, with drag sails deorbiting to keep space debris minimal.Their work has already earned them invitations to the International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2024 in Milan), the National Astronomy Meeting in Cardiff, and ISRO’s National Space Science Symposium.Beyond space tech, Snehadeep is working to democratize science itself. In 2021, he launched Aurora Academic Journal, a youth-led, interdisciplinary platform offering students worldwide the chance to publish original research, without the gatekeeping of academia. He was elected in 2022 as one of India’s youngest Fellows of the Royal Astronomical Society (FRAS), honoured as a Kentucky Colonel, and selected as a Young Member of the New York Academy of Sciences, all before turning 19.
He is building a constellation of 100 satellites and a “Twitter for the Earth,” where anyone, be it a farmer in Punjab, a relief worker in Odisha, or a curious kid, can access and tag real-time satellite images for a cup of coffee price. It’s not just a project; it’s a movement: science and space made accessible, sustainable, and unstoppable.
