Welcome to the official Facebook page of UTSDC.
The University of Toronto Space Design Competition (UTSDC) is an engineering outreach organization. We organize annual contest for high school students that presents a challenging space-related problem to teams of up to five students and tasks them to design an innovative solution. Throughout the year, teams document their solution process, culminating in a short report and the opportunity to present it at the Design Conference in May. In February, contestants attend a Space Workshop where they receive feedback on their current designs from distinguished U of T professors and engineers from Canadian aerospace companies. This internationally-recognized competition brings together students from across Canada and the United States and even from countries as far away as India and China.
UTSDC seeks to provide superior educational programming in science and engineering for secondary school students. We strive to present students with unique opportunities that they would not otherwise encounter in their regular curricula. Our program seeks to promote peer mentorship, leadership within the engineering community, and advocacy for youth science education.
