iSH is delighted to invite students to join Space Explorers on Wednesday the 28th of June for primary schools pupils in years 5 and 6. The hour and a half interactive sessions will include a series of hands-on sessions to inspire and enthuse for future careers in space.
Tim Gregory from NNL, BBC Bitesize, The Sky at Night, will share thoughts about the wonder of space and the universe, how it relates to our everyday lives, and why space is an exciting career.
The event is completely free and transportation costs will be covered for attendance*
