A group of aspiring space engineers from Wycombe High School took their ambitions to new heights last weekend when they participated in the UK Space Design Competition (UKSDC).
The prestigious multidisciplinary competition challenges sixth formers to think and work like professional engineers, scientists and designers, providing a fascinating insight into life in the space industry.
Students from different schools are brought together to form engineering companies, collaborating on the extraordinary challenge of designing a crewed space settlement within our solar system.
Supported by the Space Science Engineering & Environmental Foundation (SSEF), the competition encourages innovation, creative thinking, problem-solving, teamwork and communication, bringing together skills from across STEM and beyond.
Headteacher Mrs Nicola Renyard was delighted to meet with our participants following the competition and hear about their experiences.
Congratulations to all our students who took part in this exciting challenge. Who knows? Among them could be the space engineers and scientists of tomorrow!
