SPACE CLUB
🚀 DISCOVER OUR SPACE CLUB
Space Camp València does not end in summer. Now it continues all year round.
Many of you had told us after the summer camp: “what now?”.
Here is the answer 
is born Space Club, a new proposal to give continuity to the Space Camp experience throughout the year, to create stable groups, To continue learning, investigating and enjoying space... without having to wait for next summer. For those who have already gone through Space Camp and for those who are curious about space and want to be part of our community.
We do this in collaboration with our promoters: American Space Valencia, PLD Space, Power Electronics... in a unique environment within the Polytechnic University of Valencia where science, technology and space come together.
What is the Space Club?
A space activity club for boys and girls who want to continue exploring, go to and be part of a community with an interest in the aerospace sector.
🛰️ ACTIVITIES
🧑🚀 Virtual Reality astronaut experience
📅 April 17 - 🕕 6:00 pm
What are we going to do?
We enter the International Space Station (ISS) thanks to the experiences of Virtual Reality and we put ourselves in the shoes of an astronaut.
In addition, teams must simulating the docking of a Soyuz spacecraft to the ISS and perform communication tests with the “Houston base”. Precision, coordination and nerves under control.
What to take
- What the ISS is like inside and what it's like up there.
- What is involved in a orbital coupling and why there is no margin for error.
- Clear communication and teamwork in highly demanding environments.
🏫 Guided tours to leading UPV centers.
📅 May 22 - 🕕 6:00 pm
Visit to the Immersive and Holographic Technologies Laboratory
(5G Lab - iTEAM UPV)
A visit to a laboratory where they work with virtual reality, augmented reality, holography and 5G communications.. We will see how these technologies are used in remote control of robots, astronaut training or scientific missions.
Objectives
- To publicize a cutting-edge research environment of the UPV.
- Show real applications of the VR, AR and mobile communications in space science and technology.
- Connecting experience with potential STEM careers at the UPV (telecommunications, computer science, design, etc.).
🚀 Excursion to the National Rocketry Congress SURTAM26
📅 April 28 - 🕘 9:00 am - 1:30 pm
FULL
This activity is aimed at teachers and educational centers.
Co-organized conference SURTAM26 + COHETES WORKSHOP 
What are we going to do? 6 schools in Valencia will live a unique day in SURTAM 26, the national conference that brings together all university rocketry teams in Spain. This year it is held at the School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design of the UPV and Space Camp València co-organizes the day for the youngest talent to see their future steps in the aerospace career.
The students will visit the stands of the participating university teams, where they will learn first-hand about the rocket projects and prototypes they are working on. Afterwards, they will participate in a practical rocket workshop with assembly and launching at the UPV athletics track. The day will close with a STEAM round table with professionals, students and researchers from the aerospace sector.
Agenda of the day
- 9:00 - 9:15
Reception and welcome - 9:15 - 10:30
Team visit to the university rocketry stands - 10:30 - 11:00
Break and lunch (each student brings his or her own) - 11:00 - 12:15
Rocket workshop: assembly and launching - 12:30 - 13:30
STEAM promotion round table
What do they take?
- Direct contact with university students and aerospace professionals.
- A hands-on rocket building and launching experience.
- Inspiration and guidance on STEM careers through real-life references.

✅ ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT
🛠️ Exploration of the surface of Mars with ROVERS (March 6)
🛠️ Exploration of the surface of Mars with ROVERS
📅 March 6 - 🕕 6:00 pm
What are we going to do?
We are now in the middle of a martian exploration mission.
Participants will work with Rovers built with LEGO, learning how they work and programming them to face different challenges: traversing the terrain, dodging obstacles, locating points of interest and simulating the collection of “samples”.
What do they take?
- How a real Rover works: mobility, sensors, autonomy and communications.
- First steps in applied programming to space missions.
- Teamwork, decision making and real-world problem solving.
