About The Science Challenge:

Founded in 2005, the Imperial College Science Challenge is run by volunteers from the Royal College of Science Union, with the generous support from our sponsors.  The Imperial College Science Challenge aims to (a) increase scientific communication skills of students (b) raise awareness of current scientific topics (c) stimulate scientific thinking beyond the confines of student’s courses.

The first challenge was setup in 2006 after a generous donation from Mr John Sanderson, President of the Royal College of Science Alumni Association and was run by Daniel Burrows, Jad Marrouche, Kejia Zhu and other committee members of the Physical Science Union and LifeSci Union.   The challenge asked students to consider methods of colonizing Mars.
