How we operate
At SpaceCoffee, the main form of activity is project work. SC members paved their way to completing complex projects by starting with gaining experience through simple tasks. Such were learning the basics of programming and creating Arduino-based devices, along with developing solutions to design and programming challenges for competitions and contests. The first of these advanced projects was MPER (Multi-Purpose Exploration Rover) — a rover designed for the European Rover Challenge competition. The rover was followed by more and more ambitious projects.
SSA SpaceCoffee consists of over 50 active and committed members with a wide range of knowledge and diverse interests—from electronics, programming, 3D printing, graphics, circuit design, and space engineering to astronomy, physics, and even marketing or sound engineering. This diversity of passions among SpaceCoffee members is reflected in the fascinating ideas for multidisciplinary projects in which the club members are involved. It also shows that virtually anyone willing to develop their interests and skills will find a place for themselves here.

How was SpaceCoffee created
SpaceCoffee currently operates as a Students' Scientific Association at the Silesian University of Technology. However, it began its activities at the Academic High School of the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice in 2021, during robotics classes attended by a group of first-year pupils at the time. With boundless enthusiasm and great ambition, despite limited resources, the high school students began to take action, participating in various competitions and learning new things. A memorable competition, where the team from the Association appeared for the first time as SpaceCoffee, was the 2021/22 ESERO CanSat edition. Over time, new ideas gave rise to new projects, which motivated the division into project modules, in which SC members choose the role and work they want to perform in the Association.
