Training Courses
Ben has now begun offering online training courses in rocketry and these will soon be complimented by in-person hands-on rocket building courses as well. After many years of mentoring student and amateur rocketry teams and giving dozens of talks and lectures on the subject, Ben has now begun sharing his experience to a wider audience.
Ben's training courses will be focussed on the practical aspects of designing, building and launching rockets safely. Multiple interlocking workshop sessions will give an initial grounding in the basics of rocket science then give specific guidance to students and teachers looking to win rocketry competitions or break rocketry records, individuals looking to get involved in rocketry as a hobby, and professionals working in, or adjacent to, the space sector who want to get a better understanding of the practicalities and economics of launch.
Available Courses:
Ben will shortly be offering a range of online courses related to rockets and launch. Starting with courses on the basics of how rockets work aimed at younger students through to more advanced courses on how to design a rocket for the highest performance for a competition as well as courses on the commercial launch sector, range safety and rocket propulsion.
These online courses will soon be joined y a range of practical hands-on courses run at unique spaceport/aerospace sites around the UK where participants will be taught to build and fly their own rockets safely.
