The girls entered as teams and had to complete a number of tasks for the final judging.

The tasks included;

• A design and planning phase
• Building a model of their hotel using ‘household’ materials
• Consideration of the engineering challenges of building a hotel in the hostile micro-gravity environment of Space
• Marketing of their hotel

Because this would be a European enterprise, the girls had to market their hotel using a foreign European language. Here you can see one of the entries explaining their hotel to the judges.

Here one team is describing the engineering challenges of a micro-gravity environment.

This is one of the models of a space hotel.

For Year 6-9, the winners were: Big Moon (Lucy J and Hana S) with Runners up Brain Boxes (Fatemah N, Gabrielle D and Jane W).

For Year 10-12, the winners were Justice for Pluto (Raniyah F, Shambavi S and Amana S) with Runners up, and winners of the Design Award, were The Starmen (Rani T, Aa’isha S and Nell L).

Thank you to all entries and a special thank you to Madam Watkiss, Mr Rain and Dr Washington for help with the judging.
