About This Event
Our final event of the year will be a Space Design Competition held virtually!
As a Design Competition, students will assume the roles and responsibilities of professional engineers, and respond to an industry-equivalent Request For Proposal (RFP).
Our Space DC event will be themed around solving futuristic in-orbit or solar-system-wide engineering challenges - giving students a foundational view of the complexities of aerospace engineering and humanities future in space.
Ultimately, all participants will walk away with a clearer view of what's involved in this exciting field, and options for future career pathways.
Cost To Participate
$90 CAD // $65 USD
