The Commissioner’s annual Space to Dream Exhibition opens today at the Australian Space Discovery Centre at Lot Fourteen, North Terrace. The exhibition features top rated designs chosen from entries received from schools across the State whose students participated in the Comissioner’s Space to Dream Challenge in 2024.
Now in its fifth year, the Commissioner’s Space to Dream Challenge supports students to learn design thinking skills and apply them to the design of a toy or gadget for someone their age who is ‘moving to Mars’.
Jack in Year 4 at Coomandook Area School has taken out the grand prize this year winning a 3D Printer for their school donated by Challenge Partners Makers Empire. Jack’s Hollow-Ball was selected by the Commissioner as the highest ranked design for 2024 for its focus on improving a person’s health and fitness while they’re on Mars.
The Commissioner’s Space to Dream Challenge was devised to inspire the next generation of South Australian space entrepreneurs and innovators.
The top-rated designs will be on display at the Australian Space Discovery Centre, McEwin Building at Lot Fourteen from today (4 December) through to 24 January 2024.
