Volunteers are required to work alongside the UKSA to make the Farborough Futures Day 2010 happen on Friday 23rd July [NB., this was previously erroneous - date now correct]. The UKSA have given UKSEDS the honour of fulfilling several roles during the day, and so we need some willing individuals to make up the numbers. The roles are:
- recent graduates/new employees [1-3 places] : are you a new employee in a space-based company? We want you to be able to show young students around a careers event and give advice on their possible future in the UK space industry.
- student talks [places TBD] : students who have recently done some interesting work in academia, industry or outreach have the chance to let others know of their work. This will be in the form of a short semi-formal talk (timing TBD). The audience will be fewer than 20 (so no huge auditorium) and the presentation can be about anything interesting and relevant to space. Let us know if you have an idea for a talk.
- general helpers [15-20 places] : we need volunteers to help out act as “intellegent guides” for attending student groups. Your job would be to find out what the arriving groups’ interests are and direct them to the best relevant section of the exhibition. Nice and easy!!!
This will – all in all – be a tremendous opportunity to be present at a premier space/aerospace
-industry event, attended by most of the BIG PLAYERS in the sector, and to work alongside the newly formed UKSA.
The exact details are being trashed out by our man at the UKSA and so the above is pretty much all we can divulge, currently. Just let us know your interest and we’ll put you on the list! We are still looking for extra volunteers, so please get in contact with us as soon as possible using the website contact form (the link to which is at the top right hand of ukseds.org home page).
