Five pupils from Our Lady's Grammar school have won a trip to the UK Space Agency.

It's after they designed and built a light-weight cantilever structure, representative of an aircraft wing box.

In the 'Shake Rattle and Roll' competition organised by Resonate, the structure withstood a vibration system of 20G.

Emily Rice, Yukthi Sivakumaar, Eimear Holywood, Lauren Ward and Fionnuala McKeown were the winning team.

And they told Q Radio that the sky's the limit!
