Would you like to become your Space Race Captain or Vice Captain?

Please complete your application by Friday 13th September.

Your application can be in the form of a letter to Mr Ellis, a video, a poster, a campaign leaflet or anything else that you think will capture our attention and make you a suitable candidate for the job.

Remember to include your name, the Space Race Team that you will be representing and the attributes/qualities/skills that you have which we should take into consideration when viewing your application.

Good luck.
