CHALLENGE: The space industry is expanding at an incredibly rapid pace, but rockets alone can't build our future in the cosmos. A new form of transport is needed to move massive amounts of material efficiently and create a true Earth-space economy.
SOLUTION: The space elevator, an entirely new way to access space. Simply, a cable stretching 100,000 km into space. We can then climb up and down this “highway to space”. It offers a clean, reliable, and affordable path to orbit, no rockets required.
OPPORTUNITY: WSPEC (World Space Elevator Competitions) is a global non-profit accelerating the breakthroughs needed to make this a reality. We challenge you to help build this future.

Join WSPEC at the ISDC this June to build a mini space elevator climber. Learn the essential considerations behind space elevator engineering and gain practical hands-on experience — whether you're a first-timer or already familiar with the technology.
