ABOUT

Below are videos of Megha at various ages: BoatSync and Team Lift in particular were the projects that eventually led to becoming a NASA Ambassador

Megha Systems was founded in 2025 with a simple yet powerful vision: For the development and nourishment of science, engineering, and physics in Sri Lanka and beyond. Founder Megha Wijewardane has been trained to represent NASA's OSIRIS REx mission by the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. At age 7, he won the Northrop Grumman prize, at NASA's space apps challenge, competing with university students. In 2018, aged 8, Megha solved problems at ActInSpace challenge where he was the youngest team leader to pitch to Airbus on a solution for ships with no transponder or ghost ships committing unlawful acts at sea. At the age of 9, he became the youngest NASA ambassador in the world, being trained to represent NASA's OSIRIS REx mission, focused on retrieving samples from the asteroid Bennu. He routinely gave speeches and lectures educating the public about Osiris Rex. At the same time, he also received a scholarship to study at FTA - flight training Adelaide to eventually obtain a pilot's license. He became one of 15 students attending Australia's first ever dedicated Space Academy at the age of 11, and recieved an opportunity to begin attending parttime for a physics major at Flinders University later that year.

Megha Systems now, as a growing startup, eventually aims to develop a practical, affordable, solar powered car prototype, the first of its kind, and eventually distribute it for the global market. At Megha Systems we strongly believe that Sri Lanka deserves the highest in technological excellence, just as the ancient Sri Lankans showed in their magnificent engineering projects. This is precisely the topic of Megha's first published book Punarutthana, which is Sanskrit for Renaissance.
