Please help me get to space school!

Hi,

My name is Olivia Adie and I'm a year 9 student in Dunedin. I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to study at space school with NASA in America for two weeks in December 2020. This is a program to empower young women and encourage the presence of women in STEAM ( science, technology, engineering, art and math) based jobs, whilst creating solutions for the future. The total cost of this trip including flights is approximately $10,400 (including gst).

This is exciting for me as I have a passion for science and the learning at space school will help me explore potential career options such as engineering, robotics, medical and earth sciences and of course astronomy. Space School will provide skills such as critical thinking and problem solving that will help me now and into the future.

Some testimonies from other students of this program include:

I learned many things at space school about NASA and space and healthy habits, teamwork, leadership, initiative and problem solving. All with the help of my group manager and accompanying teachers.

- Adriana year 10.

Not only did I learn about space and astronomy. I found a deeper understanding of myself and my goals. The speakers were really inspirational. I hope I can incorporate everything that I have learnt into my daily life in the future.

I will be carrying out other fundraising up until the trip and any donation however small would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
