Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC) 2022
Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC) 2022
The year is 2043...
You work for a company that builds spaceships, and you’ve received a new contract to build a new space settlement that orbits Earth.
Your company has various departments...
Maybe you are looking after the interior and exterior features of the settlement?
Maybe it’s your job to provide for the wellbeing of the residents living in the settlement?
How will they entertain themselves? How will they stay safe and healthy? How will the settlement look after food, water and power for its residents?
Perhaps you need to describe just how the settlement should be constructed, and determine what materials are needed?
Perhaps you need to design machines for the settlement – cranes, jigs, robots etc?
Or maybe you are looking after the costs of the job?
How much do the workers earn? How much do construction materials cost?
The Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC) puts you in a team where you are designing a space settlement from top to bottom.
There is no activity more sci-fi than the ASDC!
If any of the above interests you, or you would like further information, please sign up to the ASDC MyCC Page HERE.
Or please contact Mr Baber via email -
🚌 Canterbury Assessing TWO NEW Potential Bus Routes 🚌
🚌 Canterbury Assessing TWO NEW Potential Bus Routes 🚌
Canterbury is currently assessing TWO NEW potential bus routes with the Logan Coaches Bus Company.
They have supplied us with the following proposed bus routes that connect our campus with these fast growing Canterbury Family ‘heartlands'.
Please let us know what you think by emailing OR by leaving your comments on the related Facebook or Instagram post.
We've already fielded a question about adding Loganholme too, because it's so close to Eagleby.
PLEASE SHARE this information with any potential new Canterbury Families that might be holding off joining us here in Waterford, only because we don’t currently offer these bus routes into their neighbourhood.
We could potentially start offering these new bus routes this year based on your response!
