Metropolitan School is proud and honored to have two students ” Aly Hesham & Youssef Mohamed ” among the five winners in the ” Make Space Yours” competition.On Monday, December 5th, students from our Grade 4 and Grade 5 classes visited the American University in Cairo, Tagamoa Campus to attend the Make Space Yours Schools Launch. Our students viewed presentations by Omar Samra, the first Egyptian to complete the Adventurer’s Grand Slam, and a MarsOne astronaut candidate, Mohamed Sallam. Some of our brave students even asked questions in front of the audience which numbered in the hundreds. This launch event was the opening ceremony for a country-wide competition which represents a wonderfully inspiring initiative that will change the students’ perception of space, space travel, and introduce them to the upcoming future colonization of other planets. All students from our Grade 4 and 5 classes are eligible to enter the competition, and we will be providing them with all of the information that they will need to enter and have the best chances of winning. However, this is a competition that they are to complete mostly at home, and each student will be responsible for submitting their own projects. The winning contestants from across Egypt will receive a 3-day educational space camp held by MURICATA SPACE CAMP. We are extremely grateful for our students to have this opportunity, and we are excited to see what amazing and innovative ideas they will come up with! www.makespaceyours.com/
