About Us

SpaceCoffee is a Students’ Science Club, operating at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice. The Club’s main fields of work are electronics, robotics and information technology, but it gathers all types of STEM subjects enthusiasts. The topics of projects the Club develops revolve around the construction autonomous vehicles, like a project of an airship, along with space research mini-probes or an exploratory space rover. The members of SpaceCoffee very often partake in national and international contests and conferences, science fairs, hackathons and academic events at the University.

Among its objectives, the Club attaches importance to popularization of IT and electronics-related education. But above all, SpaceCoffee emphasizes continuous growth – as a Students’ Science Club, it is open to new projects or initiatives, members and partnerships. On an individual level, activity in the Club grants members the chance to hone and exercise their abilities, as well as helps them develop various new skills. More
