who's running this space competition

It's organised by ISSET, the International Space School Educational Trust, and supported by Edge, a charity foundation campaigning to raise the status of practical learning.


what's it for?

To inspire students and promote practical learning in science and engineering.


do i have to pay anything?

No, it's all free. If you get to the finals in Birmingham we pay your expenses to stay there and if you win - lucky you - we pick up the tab for your flights for two weeks in America and all your meals and hotels. How good is that?


who else is going apart from the winners?

At the finals day there will be teams from each region as well as an adult accompanying each team. On the trip to America there'll be staff from ISSET and some teachers as well as the winning teams - one from each region.


i'm a bit stuck for ideas - what's new in space anyway?

Check out our Ideas section, there's lots of good stuff there to set you thinking but remember we're looking for new ideas, not things people have done already.


what if i have a question about the company or need help?

Try asking your teacher. If you still cannot find the information you need, contact Alison Saunders at ISSET at edgeintospace@isset.org.


how do i get help from an export, or any special or additional resource or advice?

Firstly, ask your teacher. Then, if you need further help, contact Alison Saunders at ISSET at edgeintospace@isset.org. ISSET can put you in touch with all sorts of experts like local businesses, and maybe even get a question answered by a scientist or an astronaut. They can also advise you on how to get hold of particular resources you might need.


what if i am a teacher and i need advice or assistance?

Contact Alison Saunders at ISSET at edgeintospace@isset.org.


how do i get help from a local education business partnership?

Firstly, ask your teacher. You can find your local EBP contact details at www.nebpn.org.
