The Australian Space Design Competition is an industry simulation experience that combines elements of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with an emphasis on teamwork, marketing and human relations to provide a unique challenge to students. The Request For Tender (RFT) is structured to guide students through business-orientated engineering processes, with tasks broken down by sections such as Structural Engineering, Human Engineering, and Cost/Scheduling. Our team, named the Starr Rice Research and Exploration Co., worked to produce a 57 page tender that will now be judged by an independent, expert industry panel comprising Australian engineers and educators with hopes that we qualify and represent Magdalene in the national competition in Brisbane 2025 once again.

I would like to congratulate the following Heads of Departments and all team members for their extraordinary capacity and diligence in producing a tender of such high quality:

Angelina Bampton, Diana Adamovic , Nicholas Simone, Isla Attard, Christine Brazier, Luca Saprun, Sienna Beller, Isibeal Abbey.
