AstroX is a non-profit organisation with the mission to promote the knowledge of science to schoolchildren across Malaysia. His love for flying has taken him to many destinations in the past 25 years, however in 2006 he landed himself in Star City, Moscow representing Malaysia as one of the final 4 candidates vying for a place to go to outer space. Since then, he has dedicated his time in conducting rocketry workshops and giving motivational ‘space’ talks to children and students. Having completed his Master’s degree in Aviation Management with the University of Newcastle, Australia through on-line learning in 2009, Faiz believes that the pursuit of knowledge is an essential part of his life. His community efforts have been recognised by the University of Newcastle and he is the recipient of the 2011 Alumni Award for Regional Leadership. He was recently awarded the 2014 Community Achievement Award by the Malaysian Australian Alumni Council. Through his work with AstroX, an innovative mobile app called GoCikgu is now available to provide free content on rocketry and science for schoolteachers to establish astronautic clubs across Malaysia.view less
