SEDS Canada

Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS Canada) is a student-run non-profit organization in Canada dedicated to strengthening Canada's future in space by providing post-secondary students with unique projects, research programs, and professional development opportunities in the Canadian governmental, industrial and institutional space sectors. We work to develop pioneering projects, such as the Canadian Reduced Gravity Experiment Design Challenge and Young Space Entrepreneurs Competition. These projects, along with Ascension, our national conference, give opportunities for students to learn key technical skills and participate in exciting and relevant experiences for their professional development. To date, we've provided many students with unique hands-on experiences in business development and microgravity research. This year in addition to providing these opportunities to more students than ever before we are expanding the amount and types of activities we offer. So stay tuned for many exciting opportunities!
