The Space Settlement Design Competition
The
Space Settlement Design
Competition
Why Join the Competition?
Imagine working as part of a team to design a space settlement capable of sustaining human life. You’ll take on real-world challenges, collaborate with peers, and gain hands-on experience in a simulated aerospace industry environment. Here’s why this competition is a game-changer:
Learn by Doing
Work in teams of up to 60 students, just like real aerospace proposal teams. You’ll manage the chaos and complexity of large-scale collaboration while taking on roles like engineering manager, systems analyst, or project lead.
Guidance from Industry
Each team is mentored by aerospace professionals who serve as your “Company CEO.” They’ll guide you through technical and management training, giving you invaluable insights into the industry.
Real-World Scenarios
Design solutions for space settlements based on specific customer requirements. You’ll define structures, construction methods, power systems, robotics, community layouts, and budgets—just like a professional team.
The Ultimate Learning Experience
Master STEM Skills
Apply your knowledge of space science, physics, math, chemistry, biology, and computer science to real-world challenges.
Develop Leadership
Learn to work within an organization chart, manage tasks, and collaborate with a diverse team.
Presentation Skills
Present your designs to a panel of judges, developing your ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and confidently.
What
Will You
