The Faraday Rocketry UPV Spontaneous Generation group presents Origin, the new prototype with which they hope to reach space, reaching, in the future, 100 km in height. This prototype, which is the largest and most powerful that the team has built, will carry out different tests in the coming months and will participate in the Euroc competition to be held in Portugal in October 2024.

A university at the forefront in the training of its students:

The Rector, Pepe Capilla, received in his office the Rocketry UPV group, belonging to the Spontaneous Generation program of the Universitat Politècnica de València, and subsequently participated in the presentation of the Origin prototype designed and built by the students of the university. The students Francesc and Nacho Coello have explained to the Rector the details of their work and the objectives they set. The Rector has shown them the support of the institution for the activity they carry out as a team. During his speech, Pepe Capilla encouraged the students to continue along this line, to learn from failures and to continue achieving successes.

With the support of the Generalitat Valenciana:

The Autonomous Secretary of Universities, Esther Gómez, has highlighted the support of the Valencian government for the training of students in transversal skills that go beyond the knowledge acquired in the classroom. “What Spontaneous Generation allows is something very special, because it allows learning by doing, which is the best way to train and is what companies demand,” highlighted the Autonomous Secretary.

Spontaneous Generation, a unique program in Spain:

The Director of the Spontaneous Generation Area, Fanny Collado, has given a tour of the evolution of the Farday group, from its beginnings to the achievement of the achievements that this team has achieved and how the university has accompanied them.

With the key involvement of the teaching staff:

The Spontaneous Generation teams have the figure of the tutor teacher, who supports the students in their learning project, facilitating this activity. Professor Pedro Martí, researcher at CMT-Clean Mobility and Thermofluids, has shared his experience with the students, and the key role of ingenuity and creativity that becomes a key element of the UPV students who participate in these projects.
