To mark SSERC’s 60th anniversary, we challenged Young STEM Leaders and STEM Ambassadors to leap forward in time and picture life in 2085. What breakthroughs will shape our world? How might we live, work and explore Earth or even beyond it?

Their ideas are now brought together in our digital gallery below, showcasing a snapshot of how today's minds might view the future.

Every contribution has been sealed inside a Time Capsule, ready to be opened in 2085 by the Young STEM Leaders and STEM Ambassadors of the future.

The digital gallery closed at 5.00pm on Tuesday 2 September.
