The team of 12 students from the \"Tudor Vianu\" National College of Computer Science, winners of the Grand Prize at the International \"National Space Society\" - NASA Space Settlement Contest, and the young researcher Antonio Florin Iordache, a student of the \"Jean Monnet\" High School in Bucharest, members of the national campaign \"100 Youngsters for Romania's Development\", have reached the competition in Los Angeles, USA. They represented Romania at the highest level, from 24-26 May, in front of an audience comprising leading researchers, astronauts, entrepreneurs and experts in the field.<\/p>\n
In excess of 29,000 students were involved in 5,200 distinct projects from 28 countries worldwide. The objective of the competition was to devise a space station that would facilitate life in space. The International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles is one of the most significant aerospace conferences globally, offering a significant platform for countries, educational institutions and students to engage with the latest developments in the field.<\/p>\n
The \"Project Nova 2\" project, submitted by students from the \"Tudor Vianu\" National College of Informatics, was selected as the winner. The project entails the construction of a permanent toroidal space colony in orbit around Mars that will accommodate over 2000 tourists, scientists, and permanent colonists.<\/p>\n
Antonio Florin Iordache attained the fourth position in the International \"National Space Society - NASA Space Settlement Contest\". The young prodigy succeeded in constructing a bullet-shaped spacecraft, with the intention of transforming a phenomenon that currently has a detrimental impact on humanity into a beneficial one. The shape of the spacecraft allows for efficient propulsion in space and a perfect rotation of less than two rotations per minute, which generates artificial gravity at an optimal level.<\/p>\n
The 13 young people, who represent the country at the International \"National Space Society\" - NASA Space Settlement Contest, are part of the national campaign \"100 Youngsters for Romania's Development\". This campaign was launched with the intention of celebrating national unity and identity and aims to bring to the forefront the stories and achievements of the most outstanding children and young people in Romania. These individuals have managed to make a name for themselves nationally and internationally through their passion, dedication and talent.<\/p>\n
The 100 outstanding young people who make us proud to be Romanian and who have distinguished themselves through outstanding performances will be included in the first catalogue of Romanian excellence, which will be launched at the end of this year.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Echipa format\u0103 din 12 elevi de la Colegiul Na\u021bional de Informatic\u0103 \u201eTudor Vianu\u201d, c\u00e2\u0219tig\u0103toarea Marelui Premiu la Concursul Interna\u021bional \u201eNational Space Society\u201d \u2013 NASA Space Settlement Contest, dar \u0219i t\u00e2n\u0103rul cercet\u0103tor Antonio Florin Iordache, elev al Liceului \u201eJean Monnet\u201d din Bucure\u0219ti, membri ai campaniei na\u021bionale \u201e100 de tineri pentru Dezvoltarea Rom\u00e2niei\u201d, au ajuns la competi\u021bia […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4436,"featured_media":48911,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3338,3346,3070,269,100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-100-de-tineri-pentru-dezvoltarea-romaniei","category-editia_2024","category-educatie","category-noutati","category-stiri"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
