Testimonials – BIG Idea Challenge

“BIG Idea opened my eyes to a new side of engineering that I knew was there, but I had no experience with. The experiences I gained and difficulties I had to overcome were certainly valuable on a personal and professional level. I will look back on this opportunity gratefully and will continue to look for places that I can continue working in the space industry. “
