Hello -

We wanted to make sure the home schooled, high school age students in New Mexico are aware of this opportunity.

My name is Roy Nielsen - Laurie Hixson at Los Alamos National Laboratory and I am working with the founders of the International Space Settlement Design Competition to bring a regional competition to the Rock Mountain Region.

Please see the website - http://www.lanl.gov/csse/rmssdc

The student & sponsor pamphlets can be found on that site.

The sponsor pamphlet can be used by the students to attract sponsors to help them travel to and pay for a hotel room for the event.

Please consider sharing this opportunity with the home schooled students of New Mexico at this year's semi-finals.

There is no preparation or work required to be completed before the event this year.

We realize it is short notice, but would like to extend the invitation to home schooled students for this competition.

The winners of this competition will be invited to attend the Internationals at the NASA Johnson Space Center, in Houston Texas, where they will compete with students and teams from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America.

Please feel free to contact myself or Laurie Hixson for more questions or more information.

We look forward to hearing from you and/or your students,
-Roy Nielsen
