More outreach activities

In cooperation with Women In Engineering, we will be working alongside the organisation to inspire children in local schools to enter STEM fields of education.

In collaboration with the Student Union’s Space Society, we are running various communication initiatives to increase learning among its members, sponsors and other local astronomy groups, such as the 91Ö±²¥ Astronomical Society.

We will also be participating in large-scale events such as the 91Ö±²¥ Festival of Science and Engineering, 91Ö±²¥ Festival of the Mind and The Mobile University.
