About Us
SPARK is a student-led society at Keele University dedicated to fostering a strong, supportive, and vibrant physics community. We work in collaboration with the School of Chemical and Physical Sciences (SCPS), the Institute of Physics (IOP), and UK Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (UKSEDS).
Throughout the academic year, we provide academic and social support to physics students at all levels. Our events include socials, hands-on lab sessions, revision workshops, student-vs-staff competitions, exciting excursions, and much more.
SPARK is also proud to have its own rocketry team, which competes annually in the UKSEDS National Rocketry Championship; showcasing our passion for space exploration and engineering.
