Launch 4 Change is an outreach and innovation programme funded by the Advanced Research + Invention Agency, with two connected pathways: university students and school pupils.
The programme broadens participation and helps create the next generation of scientists, engineers and climate leaders.
University students mentor school pupils through the UK Rocketry Challenge (UKROC). Alongside this mentoring, the students design, build and launch their own climate science payloads, culminating in the final Launch 4 Change launch event.
Explore university payloadsSchool pupils design, build and fly model rockets for UKROC, the youth rocketry competition, with mentoring from university students. The school pupil pathway is UKROC only; the climate science payload projects and final L4C launch event belong to the university student pathway.
Explore UKROCSchool pupils develop their UKROC rockets with university student mentors, while university students also develop climate science payloads for the final L4C launch event.
University teams brought rockets, payload hardware and launch preparation together for a shared programme event.
