GFSSM is an international engineering and space-focused competition for school students. It combines science, engineering, business, design, communication, and problem-solving through team-based challenges.

The 2026 finals, held in Beijing from August 13 to 17, brought together 260 students from nine countries, including Pakistan. The wider competition involved participants from more than 17 countries and regions.

During the final, students from different countries were grouped into multinational teams operating as virtual companies. They were required to develop a space-related project proposal within 24 hours before presenting and defending their work before a judging panel.

Pakistan was represented by students from several Lahore Grammar School campuses, including LGS 55 Main, LGS 14-C, and LGS Phase 5.

LGS Phase 5 also delivered a strong performance, finishing as second runner-up, equivalent to third place. The third-place position was shared with three other international teams.

The LGS Phase 5 team included Pareesa Zaid, Muhammad Raamish Nauman, Muhammad Rafay Ammar, Ibrahim Lodhi, Amna Qureshi, Umair Alam, Zoya Hasan Tariq, Alina Binte Amir, Isra Ahmed Bashir, Safdar Zaman, Muhammad Ahmad, and Ali Khurram.

With LGS 55 Main emerging as champions and LGS Phase 5 securing third place, Pakistani students recorded two major finishes at this year’s international GFSSM competition.
