Get involved in International Space Week

It’s world space week – October 4 -10

An ideal time for teachers and educators to use space-based activities to get kids excited about science and technology.

The official World Space Week Association have put together a bunch of great stuff including:

• teacher activity guides
• a list of event ideas
• a guide to running world space week events.

And if you have a year 6 class, you could get them to take part in the Moon Exploration survey.

There’s also a free local event you could attend – Wells and Mendip Astronomers – are running Space Detectives Virtual Reality Space Spectroscopy, Astrophotography Displays, the chance to drive a robotic Mars Rover and 3D Space Printing.

Not feeling confident teaching space?

There’s a primary space training event in Newport on 24th Sept 2019 – read more about it here.
