“The Space Design Challenge is the most important thing I did in my schooling”  Marsha Long

“The past week has been the most amazing one of my life. I have learnt so much, from teamwork, my love and passion for my subject. This competition has allowed me to push myself and apply my previous knowledge from school to a more exciting and challenging medium. I don’t think I can possibly express how grateful I am… I will now aim to promote and encourage girls at my school to participate in such an incredible and rewarding experience, and hopefully inspire someone like it has inspired me.Saffron Zainchkovskaya

About us

Our London space, engineering and business summer camp began as the result of a highly successful UK based competition called the UK Space Design Competition for secondary school students and the Galactic Challenge for younger students,  both of which have been established for 11 years. Inspiring young people in the areas of science technology, engineering and mathematics education is critical. Our programmes are held at Universities and venues throughout the UK and the world and our staff are experts from industry and academia.

What is it?
