Registration Information

Participants are selected by a random lottery

Registering with this form does not mean that your child(ren) will be able to attend Purdue Space Day; it places them into a lottery which will then select the participants.

There is no advantage to early registration

As long as they are registered by the time registration closes, they will be in the drawing. Everyone who has registered has an equal chance.

The lottery will be held September 8, 2026

Participants selected will be notified by email on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.

Children who are not selected will be put on waitlists

Registrants who are not selected in the lottery will be randomly placed into a waitlist for their age group, and will will receive an email telling them their position on the list.

Please tell us if your child will not be able to attend

If a participant informs us before the event that they will not be able to attend, then we can offer their spot to the next person on the waitlist for their age group.

Detailed event information

This will be emailed to the selected participants in early October.
