  — WAU ROCKETRY OUTREACH PROGRAM : IGNITING PASSION
FOR AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

WAU Rocketry, a student-driven aerospace initiative from the School of Aerospace Engineering at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), is expanding its horizons by engaging with the wider community through its Outreach Program. This initiative is designed to inspire, educate, and encourage the next generation of engineers, scientists, and innovators, focusing on the exciting world of rocketry and space exploration.

MISSION OF THE OUTREACH PROGRAM

The primary goal of the WAU Rocketry Outreach Program is to introduce young students to the field of aerospace engineering, particularly rocketry, and to instill in them a sense of curiosity and passion for science and technology. By conducting workshops, presentations, and interactive activities, the program seeks to highlight the significance of rocketry in various fields, from telecommunications and weather monitoring to space exploration and defense.

Throughout the year, the WAU Rocketry team organizes workshops that provide hands-on experiences for participants. These workshops include rocket-building sessions, where students can learn about the science and engineering behind rockets, as well as practical demonstrations showcasing the principles of flight and propulsion. In addition to these, the outreach team also conducts educational talks and discussions, helping students understand the basics of aerodynamics, propulsion, and the challenges faced by aerospace engineers.

PROMOTING DIVERSITY IN STEM

WAU Rocketry is committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) community. The outreach program encourages participation from all students, regardless of gender or background, to ensure that the field of aerospace engineering remains accessible and welcoming to everyone. By reaching out to underrepresented groups, the program hopes to inspire a more diverse group of future aerospace engineers.

LOOKING AHEAD

WAU Rocketry continues to grow, the outreach program is poised to make an even greater impact in the years to come. By engaging with the next generation of engineers and fostering a deeper understanding of aerospace technology, the program plays a vital role in shaping the future of rocketry and space exploration.
