Careers Hive, an innovative careers event for S1-S3 pupils to encourage young learners to keep studying science and technology subjects, designed and delivered by the Edinburgh International Science Festival, took place at the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, this week.
Space technology company Astronaut believes it has enhanced its position at the forefront of the commercialisation of the space sector by inspiring the next generation of space leaders.
Careers Hive, a brand new project by EISF (Edinburgh International Science Festival), offered students in Secondary 1 to 3 a new way to look to the stars. The talks are aimed at encouraging uptake in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) subjects.
Tomorrow 4 March 2016 the CEO of Astrosat Steve Lee will be addressing three thousand students to give a talk on the opportunities available in “new space” for those pursuing careers in STEM. Having guided Astrosat to multiple prestigious European space prizes, most recently the 2015 Copernicus Masters, Steve is well placed to encourage the next space leaders.
As an award-winning astrophysicist and astronautical engineer, as well as a proven innovator and entrepreneur, Steve will be one of the event’s main speakers.
The Careers Hive runs over five days from the 29 February to 4 March 2016 at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Attendance is free, and the sessions run daily at 10am, 11am and 1pm.
