Do you spend most of your time thinking about space? Perhaps you’re a physics wiz who dreams of terraforming Mars?
Join us this National Science week to get advice from budding Aerospace Engineer Michael Zenkov as he explains the basics of what exactly an Aerospace Engineer studies and the fundamentals required for this intrepid aeronautical path.
From building Robots as a teenager to designing real-life rockets, Michael will explain how his understanding of developing technologies has aided him in his path to studying space travel.
This hour-long talk will include a small practical exercise, followed by questions and answers with Michael and light refreshments. Those with more in-depth questions are encouraged to stay and ask Michael direct advice about career pathways in Aerospace Engineering.
Michael Zenkov is a 3rd year Aerospace Engineering / Advanced Physics student at UNSW Sydney with a background in Competitive Robotics, model rocketry and a strong passion for all things STEM.
Please note this workshop is strictly for ages 13+.
