Five CTHS students got to participate designing a lunar habitat suitable for 300+ residents at NASA over two days.
This past weekend, 5 amazing students participated in the annual Space Settlement and Design Competition held at NASA. The competition is designed to simulate the experience of working as members of an industry design team and to provide opportunities for students to develop academic and business skills. The students were part of teams with other students from across the state and country. They stayed overnight at NASA facilities for 2 days designing a lunar habitat suitable for 300+ residents. They were mentored along the way by NASA engineers and scientists. Students got to experience what it’s like being in a real engineering firm where they had to collaborate with a large team to meet a hard deadline. Congrats to (from left to right) Tam Nguyen, Issrael Flores, Jocelyn Gonzalez-Clawson, Jose Chavez, and Sandra Baltazar!
