Outreach

Inspiring the Next Generation

Cambridge University Spaceflight is very keen to encourage young people to learn about space and the endless opportunities in space exploration. We have given talks in schools, as well as carried out a demonstration launch for Cambridge Science Week, attended by over a hundred children from schools in East Anglia. We’ve also helped out at outreach events held by both the Engineering Department and the Institute of Physics, where we helped children to build and launch their very own model rocket.

If you would be interested in us coming to give a talk to your school and community group, please get in contact with us. We would be delighted to give a presentation, uniquely tailored to the audience with our specialist equipment as a focus.

Teddies In Space

What could be cuter than children designing space suits for teddies that actually go to space? We’ve designed and launched high altitude balloons carrying stuffed animals to the edge of space, capturing photos of the curvature of the Earth and inspiring students across the country.
