SARAUAE by Compass International relaunches Space education sessions for the youth of UAE

Uptown International School, Mirdifff ( June 10 & 11,2023) SARA UAE by Compass International holds its very first Space education sessions for the youth of UAE, post COVID.

The 2 daylong sessions with over 25 students from the school introduced the students to a vast range of topics ranging from the Emirati Hope mission, UAE Space program, SpaceX’s program, NASA’s Mission to Mars, Rocket propulsion systems, Living & working on International Space Station amongst other things like tasting the ‘space food’.

The Principal at Uptown International School, Rob Commons, said “I’m extremely proud to be able to work in partnership with (Compass International) to offer Uptown International School students the Space and Rocketry experience. It’s something completely different from their usual routine, and the chance to taste ‘space food’ and build a rocket has been so exciting for them. Whilst our students may not become astronauts in the future, the skills they learn from the programme, such as problem solving and working as part of a team, are transferrable to any future activity. I’m amazed at what they’ve been able to produce, and I can’t wait to see their rockets fly at the end of the programme.”

Thanking SARA UAE, Neil Mathew Webster,
