Space day event

On Thursday 2 July 14 Year 10 students had the opportunity to visit the Space day event at Kingston University.  The aim of this visit is to motivate and encourage students into careers in Space science. The day was a very big success and our students received lots of positive and glowing comments from the organisers and the ambassadors who worked with them.  Students were giving an incisive and rare opportunity to learn more about careers in Space science and engineering.

Mohamed said;

“The trip was a great experience and am grateful for this once in a life time opportunity. I have felt like I have discovered more to my future career. The trip was very informative and I would like to thank the ambassadors for taking the time to help us.”

Timeline and activities of the day were as follows;

·         Mr Ben Khan, the Lead oragnisers welcomed the students from different school and

·         Introduced Mr James Jack a Rocket engineer.

·         Mr Jack spoke about the job of an engineer, (the different stages involved in designing and building an engine) and later specifically about the job a Rocket engineer.

·         Tour of the University campus, with visits to

·         Mission and robot lab were rocket are firstly designed and tested using computer software and programming.

·         Racing car and motor bike workshop were different parts of engines can be fabricated.

·         Wind Mill Tunnel, student had an experience of what it feels like under a high velocity wind.

·         Technology Lab with a 3D printer, which is used to fabricates complicated parts of an engine. Students saw the circle and spring models.

·         Air craft hanger which houses an aircraft used for training students about the engineering components of an aircraft.  Students were shown a minimum gravity escalator which the Tour guard claimed is the only one in the world.

Students working in groups of four made their own water rockets and practiced a swing test. Before the launch of the rockets, students were allowed to alter the volume of water and pressure of their rockets. Our students Cherif, Umut, Tommy and Joshua came out the best in the challenge amongst the other school.

Talk from Helen Sharman, the first British to be in Space. Students felt privileged to listen and see pictures of her life experience of what it feels like being in space, launching a space rocket and the feeling of being weightless.

The overall feedback from the students was undeniable clear-cut, very encouraging and of profound appreciation in being part of the visit.
