In January, eight boys from Year 11 and 12 participated in the Australian Space Design Competition. After powering through the qualifying round, the team earned a place in the National finals, tasked with the design of a research settlement on Mars, capable of providing infrastructure for future human exploration and planetary expansion. With three other schools under the company name ‘Crux’, the team produced a refined proposal, accounting for multiple human and mechanical factors, in the form of calculations, designs and pitches. The experience and opportunity was greatly rewarding.
