Space and Rocketry themed STEM Workshops @ MACC

Over 100 children and teachers from Castlehill, Dalintober, Drumlemble, Rhunahaorine, Carradale and Glenbarr Primary School challenged themselves with hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)-based workshops on 15th February hosted by DSUK (Discover Space UK) at MACC Business Park. Glasgow University also delivered talks on space, gravity, and careers in STEM. Argyll & Bute Digital Learning Team ran hands-on workshops - Lego robot - Milo the Science Rover, Sphero K’nex - robot machine challenge, and Stop Motion – animation.
The STEM education and training is designed to enhance the capability of young individuals to work collaboratively across various fields using project-based learning. By utilizing these methodologies, young individuals can gain a practical understanding of how STEM skills and knowledge are applied in professional settings. In workplaces and industries, teams and individuals with diverse expertise and skills collaborate to produce innovative knowledge, ideas, and products.
Scotland is recognised as a centre for innovation, science and technology and has a proud history for advancement and invention. Indeed, Scotland’s space industry is both thriving and significant, where it leads globally in the nascent field of nanosatellites (particularly CubeSats). With STEM skills increasing more in demand in the workplace and our everyday lives, MACC is committed to provide the support for young individuals to develop their STEM potential to the fullest whilst developing their digital literacy so that they can take full advantage of the opportunities around them.

Propulsion and Space Research Laboratory for Machrihanish Airbase

Discover Space UK (DSUK) at Machrihanish Airbase has been awarded £227,000 of grant funding as part of the UK Space Agency’s new Launch UK Technology Investment Programme for technology projects across England, Scotland and Wales. This funding call aims to develop the capability of the UK spaceflight sector and research base by providing funding to support the whole supply chain, across all Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), helping to develop the whole of the UK’s spaceflight pipeline and position the UK to be competitive in this sector.

DSUK will work together with the University of Glasgow to develop the MachLab, a comprehensive propulsion test and research facility which will offer testing capabilities of earth-storable and cryogenic rocket engines of up to 10kN. The facility will offer ancillary testing capabilities to support a wide range of propulsion systems at various technology readiness levels. The project, due to be completed in March 2023, also pursues long-term goals of designing the first UK propellant densification system and high-thrust test facilities for full scale launch vehicles.

The development of this facility aligns with DSUK's primary objective to advance UK Research & Development skills and capabilities in spaceflight technologies and operations, inspiring and training a generation of space specialists.

To support this exciting project, the team are currently recruiting a Project Manager to be involved with hands-on activities at the site. If you have project management experience and are interested in this role, email your CV to [email protected].
