They didn’t know it’s easy to win competition than getting a sponsor for a work where there is no return (money-wise). Yes this is a story of four brilliant sudents who won a contest.

Four school students from Rourkela have bagged the second prize in the prestigious ‘Space Settlement Design Contest’ conducted by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) AMES Research Centre in USA in March 2006.

The NASA space centre has invited Ullahs, Amitav, Asim and Soumya of the Ispat English Medium School, Rourkela, but the budding scientists are finding it hard to realise their dreams because of lack of sponsorship.

The team, with help from their teacher B B Mathur had presented a 131-page thesis called Extra terrestrial Domain for Eternity by Nations (EDEN), which won them a prize among 200 contestants from 96 countries.

They have approached the Rourkela steel plant but yet to get an answer.
