The Swansea Rocketry Challenge is the perfect introduction for beginners entering the world of rocketry, helping participants develop the skills necessary for more advanced projects in the following year. Teams can enter three categories: electronics, rocket, or both, allowing flexibility to focus on their preferred area of interest.
Participants gain experience in budget management, teamwork, CAD and manufacturing, all while having fun and bringing their creative ideas to life. Rockets can be fully customised, with last year’s standout designs including a Kermit-themed rocket and a bold pink rocket, along with some really cool mission patches.
SRC provides a learning experience that equips students with the technical and collaborative skills needed for future rocketry challenges. It's also a great CV boost, especially for anyone planning a year in industry!
This was our "kermit" themed team with a rainbow rocket. It was made up of 5 enthusiastic engineers!
This was the second team in 2024/25 and was made up of 4 aspiring engineers!
All Hail Cermit!
