Focus on STEM You can make a difference benefits to a sponsor include: Increased brand awareness through exposure at the Mission Discovery events MISSION DISCOVERY AYRSHIRE WILL RETURN IN 2018. Mission Discovery is a unique programme that enables young people to work in teams with an astronaut, NASA leaders and world famous scientists for a week, to develop an idea for a space experiment. The teams then present their idea to a judging panel. The winning experiment will be built, launched into space and transported to the International Space Station. We are delighted to announce that the Ayrshire College Foundation has once again agreed to be the main sponsor this year. However, we are seeking interest from other sponsors. Becoming a sponsor of Mission Discovery Ayrshire offers you a unique opportunity to help us change the lives of hundreds of young people by raising their aspirations for an exciting career in Science and Engineering.
