the satel life competition is open until the 3rd of march to anyone between the ages of 11 and 22. let's speak to uk space agency's head of applications strategy emily gravestock and 17—year—old a levels student lowena hull, who was one of last year's competition winners. she had an idea to track abandoned supermarket trolleys using satellites. that idea, tell us... you were 16 when you had that idea. what has happened to it since? immediately after going on the uk space eight agency dragon den event, i was approached by numerous companies and so approached by numerous companies and soi approached by numerous companies and so i was looking at the view of that and taking in the feedback to refine my idea and currently i am in talks with one of the major supermarkets to see how i can refine the design
6:53 pm
and if it has financial applications. it is expensive for them to lose the supermarket trolleys. how does it work? it uses a principle of geo— fencing. the trolley has a gps and extend its coordinates to the supermarket i wa nt to coordinates to the supermarket i want to go a certain limit it sends a message back to the supermarket to say that i'm here and needs collecting. the supermarkets can go out and get the tribe for any damage comes to it. tell us about the competition. it is inspiring young people to flock these great ideas. it is working with young people between the ages of 12 and 22 on how we can use satellite to make things better for the planet. we have had mental ideas come through and ideas for a seat on the beach and finding sites not been used for developments

and making prison safer. all sorts of things. it is about finding the passion in young people i'm engaging with them. how do people put together this idea? we can work with whatever they like. people can apply it with a ser a video on slides or a poster, whatever works best for them. we can apply as a team or an individual, because in our sector it is important to work both alone and asa team. is important to work both alone and as a team. lowenna, how did you get the idea? i was walking through my local area and i was noticing an abandoned trolley, then another, and then i thought that was unusual, then i thought that was unusual, then i thought that was unusual, then i put more research into it and i realised that it was actually quite a big problem. it has financial and environmental issues
6:55 pm
associated with it so i researched it more. i saw the financial cost to supermarkets and i started thinking about how i could link the satellite competition to it and use satellite data to tackle the issue. emily, from your point of view, what is in it for the space agency? why get young people interested in using satellites to help people on earth? idida satellites to help people on earth? i did a school visit a few years ago and held up a satnav and asked what it was the only what it was. three of them out of several hundred new that it had something to do with space. i thought that was a problem because these were our innovative entrepreneurs in a decade was my time, they need to know that the technology is linked to space. what inspired me as a child care is what got me as a university student to
6:56 pm
get out of bed earlier and do something good? it was the opportunity to meet the dragons den and get the support from experts that i needed. we are trying to educate the younger generation about what technology is doing every day. lowenna, there is money to be made here, yes? indeed! the space sector is growing every day and it is a huge emerging field. there are several thousand people in the uk in the sector. we need to promote more entrepreneurs in the space sector andi entrepreneurs in the space sector and i think that is something that this competition really helps promote. so you are going to be an entrepreneur? i think it is an amazing career path to choose. thank
