    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    It was just days before the deadline to enter a prestigious design competition held by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and a group of students was asking him to be their team’s advisor.

    The LeoCraft Design Team, made up of Grade 11 and 12 students from Princess Margaret Secondary School in Surrey, about 30 kilometres southeast of Vancouver, did more than make deadline.

    High school and college students from around the world will showcase their human-powered rovers on an obstacle course that simulates the terrain on Mars and the moon.

    The challenge gives students a chance to engage with the agency’s Artemis program, which includes putting the first person of colour and the first woman on the moon, according to a NASA press release.

    LeoCraft members are also getting real life entrepreneurial experience because they must raise $30,000 to cover the cost of the trip and their design materials by pitching community sponsors, Dhesi said.

    The team will need to demonstrate that it is foldable because, in addition to completing the obstacle course, the challenge involves fitting the rover inside a 1.5 metres squared cube.
