ALUMNI SUCCESS - Former St Paul’s, now MAGDALENE CATHOLIC COLLEGE students shine as national champions.

The Australian Space Design Competition is an industry simulation experience that combines elements of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with an emphasis on teamwork, marketing and human relations to provide a unique challenge to students.The Request For Tender (RFT) is structured to guide students through business-oriented engineering processes, with tasks broken down by sections such as Structural Engineering, Human Engineering, and Cost/Scheduling. Magdalene, along with ten other schools from across the country were successful enough to be accepted to compete at the University of Queensland for the (ASDC) Nationals. 

Magdalene's group of students including St Paul’s Alumni, Luca S, Isla A, Nicholas S and Lachlan C took 3 months to complete a 50 page tender to qualify for national selection.

During the January holidays these talented students spent 26 intensive hours creating another rigorous 50 page tender that combined the efforts of 30 students in total, involving Magdalene and students from James Ruse and Mt St Michaels, Brisbane. Fortunately our team was able to create a well considered and uniquely designed tender that placed us as NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. This means that our team has been invited to the International Space Settlement Design Competition, based in Florida (USA) in July.
