How to solve the lack of greenery in Prague's streets, how to find the optimal safe route for pedestrians or how to file your tax return quickly and easily. These are just some of the problems that students tackled with within the Games & City theme at this year's Design Sprint Summer School at CTU Faculty of Information Technology (FIT CTU). This year, 25 high school students again had the chance to experience how modern information technology can be used to solve problems in the city, thanks to the Design Sprint method originally developed by Google. The summer school took place at the CTU FIT from 6-11 August 2023.

The Lunar VIcinity Complex Environmental Explorer, also known as LVICE2, has the potential to become the first probe from Czechia to transcend Earth's orbit, exploring the space around the Moon and beyond. If the project secures funding, preparations will commence in early 2024, with the probe expected to enter space four years later. This project emerged under the "Czech Ambitious Projects" call by the European Space Agency, giving Czechia the chance to become the tenth country to launch a space probe, which would not be a mere satellite.

The Lunar VIcinity Complex Environmental Explorer spacecraft, LVICE2 for short, has the potential to become the first probe from the Czech Republic to go beyond Earth's orbit, into the space around the Moon and beyond. If the project is selected for funding, preparation will begin in early 2024, and it should enter space four years later. The satellite project was developed under the European Space Agency's "Czech ambitious projects" call. It would make the Czech Republic the tenth country to launch a space probe on its own - a self-propelled device that is not just a satellite.
