MEET THE SPEAKER | Theo Youds - Aerospace Engineering MEng Geaduate and Founder and Director of Leeds University Rocketry Association
Theo Youds is an Aerospace Engineering graduate from the University of Leeds. Since a young age, Theo has been obsessed with space and when he arrived at the university, he was disappointed to find a lack of hands-on opportunities for aerospace students.
Bored from the pandemic and sick of complaining about the problem, Theo founded LURA, the Leeds University Rocketry Association, aged 21. Under Theo’s lead, LURA has gone from an unfunded start-up to an internationally-recognised, award winning organisation developing innovative technologies in the pursuit of the UK altitude record.
Over the past two years, the team have built and launched rockets, engines and control systems in multiple countries, and have quickly risen to the top as one of the leading UK student rocketry teams.
We're so excited to have you on board!
