The UK Space Design Competition is only possible thanks to generous financial and practical support from a variety of individuals and organisations.
We warmly welcome any offers of help and assistance, and are especially interested in hearing from institutions who might be interested in offering internships to outstanding competition participants. If you have any questions, would like to make a donation or volunteer your time, please contact [email protected]
Volunteer
We rely on a small army of dedicated volunteers working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. They do everything from making the tea to providing technical advice to students, and everything in between. If you’re interested in helping out in any capacity, do let us know.
Donate
Much of what we need to run the competition is generously donated to us, but we have large expenses providing food, accommodation, and travel expenses for participants.
Any donation, big or small, is very much appreciated.

Look for the Second Edition on July 21, 2016.
UK Space Design Competition: A journey has been produced as a publication that will be useful not only to any student who is considering taking part in the UK Space Design Competition but also to their teachers and to the volunteer technical advisors, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and judges.
As the book has developed, we envision a wider audience of anyone who is interested in space, education or ways of engaging with young people. To this end we have included selected chapters on issues in science that we think might be of wider interest. Each of the chapters in this book represents the personal view of the writer and is not intended to reflect the views of the organization or indeed of the editors. They do, however, give an idea of the wide range of people, personalities and expertise associated with the competition and the areas of space, science and education in general.
We are aiming at a diverse audience but the UKSDC celebrates diversity by bringing together students from a variety of educational and social backgrounds to compete in an enjoyable, challenging competition that requires teamwork and multi-disciplinary skills.
