Pacific Becomes a Space School
Pacific Becomes a Space School
A new program is giving Pacific Lutheran College, along with schools in NSW, the opportunity to make history by sending their science projects into space.
The Quberider program is a curriculum that can be implemented into any core science, computing or maths subject. Students create a project, which will be sent to the International Space Station to conduct experiments.
The rocket that will carry the projects to space has a tentative launch date of November 11th this year. This will be the first time Australia has sent anything to the International Space Station, making our students pioneers!
Pacific has a group of 10 students taking part in the project, including Georgia Woods, Matt Daniec, Keaton Dines, Cameron Heeney, Jy Flynn, Harry Stone, Liam Dines, Jackson Mikolic, Jodie Bradshaw and Cailem Leembruggen. Each student has a particular focus strength in either physics, science, maths or programming. The group is currently in the planning stages of the project.
