Send Lisa to ISU SummerSpaceProgram
My name is Lisa Stojanovski and I want to be an astronaut. I've loved space ever since I was a child and attended the N.S.W School of Space Science 2009, Australian International Space School 2010 and the Young Astronauts Australia Engineering School in Houston, Texas in 2010.
In 2015 I began producing YouTube videos about space for the space media channel TMRO so I could share my passion for space and science with the world.
On November 19th 2015 I was awarded a half-scholarship to attend the International Space University's Southern Hemisphere Space Studies Program (ISU-SHSSP). I need to raise the remaining funds by 30th November in order to attend. These funds will cover my tuition and lodging for the 5-week intensive program hosted at the University of South Australia in Adelaide.
This program will allow me to study space science, space policy, space law and systems engineering in a country where these types of courses are not readily available. I would love to take what I learn and not only further my career goals, but inspire the next generation of children to become passionate about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics too.
To show my thanks, I will produce short videos during the program, that describe the things I am learning and my overall experience. These will be available exclusively to those who have donated to my campaign. Anyone who pledges more than $20 will also have their name included in each video.
