National Space Society “Live in a Healthy Space” Design Contest 2024 & 2025
First & Third Prize
I earned these distinctions from among more than 2,600 projects created by approximately 14,000 students. My objective was to develop a research project aimed at supporting plant life in space, as well as creating a sustainable ecosystem. Drawing on technology proposed by space research centers, I succeeded in identifying a feasible approach by utilizing hydroponic and aeroponic technologies.
I placed in the global top 15 out of 2,502 finalists from 47 countries, selected from an initial pool of over 1.1 million participants. I qualified for the international stage following two individual theoretical exams at the national level; subsequently, at the international stage, my individual score was combined with the score achieved as part of a team during the business case challenge.
