History:
|
The Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) was started in 1980 as a joint venture between Peter Diamandis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Todd Hawley at Princeton University. The group had a simple vision which continues to serve as its underlying guiding principle today: to unite students with enthusiasm for the exploration and eventual development of space. SEDS has a central national chapter (SEDS-USA) whose elected members act as a coordinating body for over 20 chapters at various universities and high schools throughout the United States. SEDS also puts on the annual Space Visions conference, which is hosted by a different chapter every year. The conference allows SEDS members from across the country to come together and be audience to an impressive list of speakers, to network, and to simply enjoy the company of fellow space enthusiasts. SEDS-USA also coordinates national projects, providing chapters opportunities to work together on projects too large for one chapter to tackle alone.
