The international competition was jointly organized by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the US’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), under the Japan-US Open Platform Partnership.

 

Japanese astronaut, Akihiko Hoshide, supervised the competition on board the Kibo Module on the international space station (ISS).

They'll graduate and get out of Thailand if they have any sense.

I once knew a Thai nuclear physics masters graduate who was head of system security at the Nuclear Reactor in Bangkok (yes there is one). She was on 24,000 baht a month. She eventually escaped to be the youngest IAEA inspector based in in Vienna.

 

I was so happy for her.

Think it's kept that way, just so they can show how much they care for us all.

 

Good job software boys,
