“I really enjoyed this programme!
I got to learn a lot more about what areas Thales focuses on and it's given me a lot to think about in terms of my future. I especially enjoyed designing a CubeSat and learning about them, I've never heard of them before but it was really enjoyable to consider which components would be best.”
