DESIGN COMPETITIONS
CANADA + USA
Design Competitions are industry-simulation events that provide students unparalleled experience in what it means to work in the real world.
​
The Brief: students form 'companies' - simulating industry - and are given a professional set of industry requirements, outlining a new space settlement to be designed. Companies must prepare a functional design that meets these requirements, and deliver a business brief back to a panel of industry expert judges.
​
Every year, thousands of students from across the globe participate in Design Competitions of various disciplines, to learn life skills in group dynamics and large-scale communication, and for the opportunity to progress to international finals in their chosen field.
​
InSimEd's premier Design Competition is The International Space Settlement Design Competition - also known as the ISSDC. A global aerospace engineering Design Competition that has been running since 1984, InSimEd provides all the regional qualifying events across the USA and Canada. Participation - and success - in the Western, Central, and East Coast Space Design Competitions provide the opportunity to travel to the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida to compete in the ISSDC Finals!
