LEARNER HELPS TEAM DESIGN SPACE SETTLEMENTS
Mondale learner wins gold at Nasa
Z
ayaan Abdurahman had never been on an aeroplane. She had never set foot outside South Afri-
ca. But the Mondale High School learner, who travelled to the United States with the backing of a community fundraising effort, has come home with a gold medal from the world’s longest-running spaceengineering competition for schools. Seven high school learners from the Western Cape made history by winning the International Space Settlement Design Competition at the international finals held at Nasa’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was South Africa’s first-ever entry in the competition. After the win Zayaan said she was extremely glad to have represented her country. “I’m extremely glad that I got to represent South Africa and make them proud as a country by coming home with gold,” she said. “And not even just South Africa, the entire African continent, because we were the only African team there. “I’m grateful that I got to share this experience with my teammates and students from around the world.”
The team that brought home the gold.
