Parents Day
Hey First Years!

Parent’s Day 🚸is coming in hot, May 2nd is just around the corner! So here’s the deal: we’ve got 25 exclusive spots reserved for first-years. If those don’t fill up by one week before the event, we’re opening it to everyone (even your siblings).

Here’s what the day’s looking like:

10:00 – Walk-in (with just enough time to pretend you're not tired)
10:30 – A warm welcome from our very own program director, the legendary Herbert Wormeester
After that: coffee, tea, and socially acceptable small talk
11:30 – A short but brain-tickling lecture by our Mechanics guru, Michell 👀
Followed by a delicious sandwich-fueled presentation from our student board, giving you and your parents a sneak peek into what we actually do here

Then things get real:

13:00 – Time to channel your parent’s inner aerospace engineer ✈️ with an intro lecture on building a glider (yes, like the one we all struggled through too). While one group is gliding, the others get a campus tour, and then we swap.

Once everyone’s had a go at making their glider fly like a majestic paper eagle, we wrap up the day with:

The one and only PUB QUIZ at The TAP (starts around 16:00) – yes, the TAP🍺. A perfect chance for your parents to ask questions, meet current students, and maybe even show off their trivia skills (or get shown up by yours).

If you have classes or tutorials that day, feel free to attend them — but honestly, wouldn’t you rather hang out with your parents and build flying contraptions?

Lunchlecture Thales

OuCie

We’ve all been there: someone asks “What is it you’re actually doing?” and you have to give an explanation of Advanced Technology, but actually, what we do is not that easy to explain. It’s something to experience. That’s why we organise a day where your parents can experience an average day in a student’s life: there will be lectures, an exciting program, and of course, there will be a drink afterwards.
