National Air & Space Camp 2024

The UK National Air and Space Camp 2024 is a flagship event held annually at RAF Syerston, Nottinghamshire, running from August 17 to 24. This prestigious camp is organised by the RAF Air Cadets and serves as an unparalleled opportunity for young cadets to delve into the fields of air, space, and cyber domains. The camp is designed to inspire and educate over 1,000 cadets through a diverse range of STEM-based activities, including robotics, aircraft engineering, satellite communications, flight simulations, and gliding. These activities not only provide hands-on experience but also expose cadets to the vast array of career opportunities within both the UK Armed Forces and the broader aerospace industry.

 

One of the camp’s highlights is Industry Day, set for August 21, 2024. This day offers cadets the chance to engage directly with over 60 industry partners from the air, space, and cyber sectors. The day is packed with networking opportunities, career insights, bespoke training sessions, and culminates in a private air display featuring iconic aircraft like the Typhoon, Lightning, Chinook, and Spitfire. New to 2024 is the Inspire Stage, where industry leaders will deliver talks aimed at motivating and guiding cadets toward careers in aerospace.

As a dedicated supporter of the Armed Forces, we were thrilled to connect with cadets and create an unforgettable experience that highlighted the wonders of STEM.

Our interactive station became a hub of excitement, featuring a selfie board for the future Artemis crew. Cadets were given the challenge of trying to build up a set of trestles as quickly as possible in order to win a prize. The day concluded with a spectacular airshow.

 

The National Air and Space Camp is not just an event but a crucial step in shaping the next generation of aerospace leaders, offering them the guidance, knowledge, and inspiration needed to pursue their aspirations in these dynamic fields​.

 

Flying Officer and Project Manager for National Air & Space Camp, J Bertolaso, expressed his gratitude: “A huge thank you for helping to make yesterday’s Industry Day so amazing! The feedback from the cadets has been nothing but exceptionally positive, with many of them telling us that their conversations with you have greatly bolstered their understanding of the opportunities ahead. Thank you once again, and see you next year!”
