We’re a team of 16–18 year old students from the UK who’ve worked incredibly hard to earn a place among the top 4 teams in the world at the Aerospace Education Competition qualifiers.

This means we’ve been invited to compete at the International Space Settlement Design Competition (ISSDC) in Orlando, Florida this July.

ISSDC is an international STEM competition that brings together students from across the world to work on industry-style engineering challenges - the kind that shape the future of space exploration. (See pics taken by a member of our team who competed in ISSDC 2025!)

Our team of ten reflects an even balance 5 girls and 5 boys of some of the most talented students in the UK.

To make this dream possible, we need to raise £1,500 per person to cover travel and accommodation. For a group of students, that’s a huge barrier, but with your help, it’s something we can overcome.

Every donation, no matter how small, genuinely makes a difference. You’re not just helping us get to Orlando - you’re helping us represent the UK, pursue our passion for science and engineering, and take a step towards the futures we’re working so hard to build.

Thank you so much for your support!
