Outreach

A key aim of CranSEDS is giving back to the community that inspires us through education and outreach programs for younger generations of space enthusiasts. We believe it's more important now than ever to raise awareness of the rapidly growing UK space sector, the variety of career opportunities available for young people, and the skills needed to help pursue these.

Recent events

INWED 2022

On Thursday 5th May 2022, a number of CranSEDS volunteers led a workshop for local school students from ages 11-14 as part of the University's International Women in Engineering Day event.

In the workshop, the students were given 45 minutes to design, build, and launch their Mars rover. The rover had to carry two scientific instruments (LEGO bricks) and fit inside the provided payload fairing.

All 7 teams successfully completed the task and launched their rovers!

Cranfield Village Jubilee Day
