Dr Scott Sleap is a veteran STEM educator and space luminary who recently returned from a fellowship program in the US, where he visited aerospace sites such as NASA, Boeing, and the Smithsonian. He believes Australia is in need of a National Space and Deep Tech Centre to boost our sovereign space capabilities and help our domestic space industry compete on the global stage.

Scott speaks to the SpaceConnect podcast on his learnings from the US trip and how he believes they can be applied to the Australian space industry. He also offers his insights from decades of STEM teaching on how to get people involved in the space sector and the best way to educate them.
