The 1st CubeDesign edition has three categories, namely: mockups, cansats and nanosats and is engaging participants from all schooling levels. The CubeDesign competition concept emerged with the inception of INPE´s Space Engineering and Technology postgraduate CTEE students group aiming at hands-on space missions, future workforce developments and promoting various outreach activities such as cu-besat workshops for the public in general. This is quite important since these activities compels engineering skills and competencies for realizing the Industry 4.0 paradigm which is extensively based on automation, big data, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, etc., and that LA countries needs so much. Latin America in general is looking for its locus in the space arena and ramping up efforts to improve its current space programs. It is well known that space activities contribute positively to the general economy status of countries with an active space program. This paper presents the general and comprehensive approach used to the organization and project dynamics of a space engineering capacity building competition, named CubeDesign, initially targeted to Latin America.
