good extra curricular's for aeronautical engineering

title is pretty self explanatory but I'm in year 12 and I do maths physics and further maths and would like to peruse a career in aeronautical/aerospace engineering I'm in London and want to know good things to do outside of the curriculum to get into rustle group university's. Any help is appreciated!

If you're going straight from school/college to university, whether you get offers or not will come almost solely from your grades - so focus on them. You've got the right A-level subjects: a strong showing in them will get you plenty of offers.

Hi @waazzza

At the moment your are on the correct path. But if you want to take it further you could consider this: Join competitions like the UK Youth Rocketry Challenge, work on projects such as model rockets or drones, and gain work experience with aerospace companies. Starting or participating in a STEM club at school can also help showcase your interest. Additionally, online courses in aeronautics and engineering fundamentals, as well as books on aerospace topics, will build your knowledge. Attend public lectures and events at universities like Imperial College and UCL to deepen your understanding and make your application stand out. Hope this helps.
