During the ERC, students were able to talk with leading experts in the space sector and scientists. There was also time to participate in conferences and debates. One of the lectures entitled “The Trajectory of Tomorrow: where science and space intersect with Polish innovation” was presented by member of LEOO group – Błażej Sterniczuk.
Błażej is a 4th(sernior) year secondary school student in a mathematical and physical class profile. In addition to studying, he actively spends his time In his spare time, he enjoys reading popular science books (mainly about physics). After school, Błażej is planning to continue studying at Military University of Technology in Warsaw, choosing faculties of aviation and aerospace. The choice will enable him to develop his passion and acquire the knowledge necessary for work in areas of the space industry and future technology. Moreover, he is a scholarship holder of the Major Władysław Sobola Polish Army Foundation.
