Space Industry National Award Oct 2023

As state winners, a group of our students then travelled to Adelaide with their teacher for the ‘Andy Thomas Foundation 2023 Kids in Space Makers Empire Challenge National Championship’.

Ranging from reception to year 2, our students were the youngest team involved! They represented their class, who had designed and developed play equipment for children to exercise on if they lived on Mars. They were awarded the Space Industry National Award. Their designs will now travel around Australia as part of an exhibit for the Kids in Space Challenge.
