Help Laura achieve her dream and raise money to go to CASE space school in Houston, Texas next year.

Napier, Hawke's Bay

My name is Laura Hall and I'm a year 10 student in Napier. I'm really excited to have been selected to join the CASE space school - entrepreneurship for young leaders.

For two weeks in Dec 2024 I will be heading to the Johnson space centre in Houston, Texas for a life changing learning experience. It will be intensive learning about space and earth sciences. I will get to experience cutting edge technology and see the newest space tech in development. We will be inspired by NASA mentors, world leaders in entrepreneurship and innovative tech gurus. There is also a focus on teaching personal development skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, project management, leadership skills, teamwork and communication.

I love all things science and intend on perusing future studies and a career in the science field. This experience will open up opportunities, help me develop goals and hugely support and prepare me for university.

I am a hard worker and have a part time job that will help fund this trip but I cant work as much as I would like because I need to keep my grades up. I am humbly asking for your help and support to help a young girl, getting into science and attend a life changing opportunity I couldn't do without you.

Total fees are over $12,000 so I appreciate any donation you can make as it is beyond what we can afford without fundraising. Thanks for all your support and the generosity of others already in this amazing journey.
