The story of a small T-shirt embarking on a big journey
A few months ago, a school class from Cockermouth, UK, asked us whether we’d be interested in sponsoring their project.
Once they introduced the project to us, we agreed instantly.
17 of their students hatched a very ambitious plan to send a balloon attached with a camera to space and back to earth. The main idea here was not only to develop a balloon, but to organise everything surrounding the project. And the kids took care of that themselves: Finding sponsors, informing press, writing a blog and maintaining a Facebook page. The project was part of a school project under the very fitting motto ‘Ascend’.
And the best thing about it: A small Spreadshirt ambassador embarks on a great mission into space. We are confident that the little challenger will make it back to earth, and that the T-shirt will be awarded with an honorary place in our T-shirt Hall of Fame. Meanwhile we’re going to wear Galaxy T-shirts to celebrate the occasion 🙂
More info on Project Ascend can be found on the students’ blog or on their Facebook page.
Big shout out to the guys from Project Ascend to let us take part in this adventure!
