The main part of the workshop (see sections 1 & 2) involves students examining two ethical dilemmas that arise in the fields of space technology and artificial intelligence. These scenarios are not actual case studies but are based on realworld events. Students will be asked to work in groups to determine the best way to handle these situations. It is particularly important that collaboration among students of different levels will highlight the dynamic relationship between those who have only recently become acquainted with theoretical and practical concepts and those who possess greater expertise. Each group will benefit from the other’s experience and “spontaneous” perspective, offering useful findings. In the final part of the workshop (section 5), all participants will exchange ideas regarding the impact of the scenarios and the hidden ethical implications that technology has and will have
