Star Trek is boldly going to New York Comic Con this October, and fans are in for something special. Paramount+ and CBS Studios have announced an all-new, interactive Starfleet Academy cadet training experience, celebrating the upcoming original series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
Step Into Starfleet
Located at Booth #1723, the immersive activation will run from Thursday, Oct. 9 through Sunday, Oct. 12, inviting fans to become cadets for a day. Each participant will receive a personalised Starfleet Academy ID badge, tracking their progress through a series of hands-on challenges designed to test their skills, teamwork, and quick thinking.
Complete the programme, and you’ll walk away with two rewards:
A recommended discipline path tailored to your strengths, pointing you toward your future role at the Academy.
An exclusive Starfleet Academy giveaway, only available at NYCC.
It’s not just cosplay—it’s your chance to live out the dream of being a Starfleet cadet.
Star Trek Universe Takes the Stage
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will introduce a new generation of cadets as they navigate friendship, adventure, and responsibility within the hallowed halls of Starfleet’s most legendary institution. Set against the backdrop of classic Trek ideals of hope, inclusivity, and exploration, the series is positioned as both a fresh entry point for new fans and a continuation of the franchise’s enduring legacy.
Between the interactive experience, the high-profile panels, and exclusive first looks, New York Comic Con 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark moment for Trek fandom.
