Cast & Crew
Zero Gravity follows a diverse group of middle-school students as they go on the journey of a lifetime. Not every teenager gets to compete in a nationwide competition to code satellites aboard the International Space Station. With the recent landing of Perseverance, and the first Flight of Ingenuity, this MIT sponsored competition can’t help but inspire us to think where a group of 11 year olds might bring us some day soon.
