    Testimonials

    Participating at the ITSDC really had a big impact on my life.It exposed me to a whole new world of educational and professional paths and it made me think out of the ordinary. Working with teams from around Italy, exchanging scientific ideas but also learning how to manage a team, how to stay focused under tight deadlines and deliver extremely challenging tasks, helped increase my own personal skillset as I start preparing for my future career.It also gave me the chance to qualify for the International finals at the Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral. That was a once-in-a-lifetime experience both in terms of learning and stimuli but also because I had amazing fun surrounded by a truly international crowd of young bright people.I will definitely participate in the next edition!Luigi Trucco - Italian Golden Ticket winner for NASA finals in Florida, Summer 2021
