“We’re proud to share that our team of 11 students from year 12 won the UK Space Design Competition (UKSDC) national final at Imperial College London, earning them a chance to go to the international final at NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida.” (Harvey T Yr 12)
The team of 11 ‘A’ level physics students attended the national final of the UK space design competition last weekend after winning their regional round in York in November. 268 students from around the country were split into four teams and they were part of the winning team.
As a team of 60 students from across the country, they competed against three other teams. Their task was to design and pitch a future moon settlement with a gravity-defying elevator—all within 24 hours. Despite the tough competition, the students’ teamwork, creativity, and tireless dedication allowed them to achieve success!
