Abstract

Aim of the Study: This study examines Pakistani youths' current level of space awareness and the need for focused educational programs to close existing gaps with the aid of the media. Despite progressions in space exploration around the world, many Pakistani youth are still unaware of and severed from this field. The study intends to create a comprehensive and long-lasting media framework for involving Pakistani youth in space education and exploration, ultimately advancing the nation's economic, scientific, and technological advancement.
Methodology: The study gauges level of awareness, comprehension, and enthusiasm for space science education through inclusive surveys and interviews of youth aged 13 to 35. The sample of the study consisted on (n=200) respondents selected using stratified random sampling technique.
Findings: This study pinpoints important factors that affect young people's interest and involvement in space field, for instance the lack of educational programs and resources. It also outlines how other countries have successfully motivated and encouraged their youth to take interest in space science and technology careers.
Conclusion: Pakistan can foster and nurture a new generation of space-aware citizens and future contributors to scientific progress by learning from examples from around the world and putting in place media frameworks that include everyone. There is a perilous need for media-driven strategies to enhance space education awareness and interest among youth of Pakistan.
