The International Space Olympics is one big competition between many countries for a total of 10 days. The competition is held in Moscow, Russia. Students aged 15 - 25 can enter, however you have to compete in many subjects prior to being selected.
Only 12 students from the City of Bradford were selected and Seetal from 44F (City of Bradford) Squadron was one of the lucky ones. The International Space Olympics is a one in a lifetime opportunity. As well as getting time to visit the many attractions in Russia. Seetal had to endure exams in Moths, Physics and Literature lasting some 4 hours."You enter looking for adventure in the grounds of the youth hostel doing your own thing and making new friends from places you would never visit.2 said Seetal and added, “The best thing was meeting the Cosmonauts in "Energia" (Space Company) and get to ask them questions about space and even get a chance to speak live to the Cosmonauts living in the International Space Station 23,000 miles above Earth "
Seetal went on to say " We had to do a presentation, and I prepared this some four months earlier before I had even gone to Russia. I had the time of my life and I will never forget it. But I must say the best part of the trip was not only my educational enjoyment, but meeting people from other Countries and getting to know them. I even found time to meet Russian Air Cadets, and it was nice to meet the cadets, because we had so much in common.
Media & Communications Officer Yaseen Rahman said," Its great that Cadets in the Air Cadets find as they enjoy the adventure, many many doors start to open for them and this just proves, being in the Air Training Corps and joining in the adventure, can lead to many new things maybe even a career in aviation. It’s what we do best at the ATC")
44F (City of Bradford) Squadron is looking for young people aged 13 to 17. It meets at Belle Vue Barracks, off Manningham Lane, on Monday and Friday, 7pm-9pm. For more information call (01274) 742954 or visit www.aircadetsyorkshire.org or www.44f.org.uk
