SWC Foundations
SWC Foundations
Space World Cup aims to become the pinnacle of student experience in space competitions thanks to 8 years of continuous improvement, innovation, trial and error processes and pioneering spirit from COBRUF. Before SWC, we tested several competitions architectures, event configurations and interdisciplinary student professionalization methods through Problem-Based Learning to find what works and what doesn't. Thanks to all teams and space centers that helped us in this long process, SWC will provide an efficient and safe way to democratize the right to fly higher.
