The Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC) is designed for secondary school students with a passion for space, or are considering a future in STEM fields.

Magdalene Catholic College entered a team under the moniker of ‘Starr-Rice Exploration’ in the 2021 competition. We are excited to announce we have made the top 10 nationally and will compete in the National competition in January. The team has also been selected to be one of three Wollongong Diocese representatives in the STEMmad National competition. 

Congratulations to all team members: Diana Adamovic, Marcus Attard, Logan Clare, Alexander Cooper, Cameron Corr, Jimmy Macri, Charlie Roberts, Zacchary Saprun, Tara Small, Grant Spinks, Ethan Williams, Kate Williams.

"We’re pleased to announce qualifying teams for the Australian Space Design Competition Finals to be held 14-16 January 2022!

Congratulations to all teams who participated in the qualifying competition this year. Students worked in teams to submit a proposal for the design and build of a space settlement in orbit around the planet Venus.

We were very excited to see the interesting and innovative proposals put forward. Each team submitted a report of up to 40 pages documenting their settlement design. The top 10 submissions from across Australia have been selected based on thoroughness, credibility, balance of the overall proposal, and innovation.”
