EngineeringScottish Space School
The Faculty of Engineering’s longest-running outreach programme
The Scottish Space School seeks to inspire the next generation to pursue engineering related courses of study, and consider careers in engineering and technology.
The summer school programme is an opportunity for the pupils who attend to participate in a number of engineering-based activities, all of which are aimed at increasing the awareness of engineering and the career opportunities available.
It is a one-week, residential programme run by the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. 80 S5 pupils from schools all over Scotland attend the programme and stay on the University campus for the week.
