Join us for this hands-on workshop to discover how we've engineered our way into space and build your own rocket!

Blast off on an exciting engineering adventure and discover how humans have made their way into space, from the first rocket launches to the robotic missions exploring Mars today.

Along the way we'll become engineers! Participants will build their own balloon rockets, work as a team to try rocket touch downs, and build simple cricuits to create a rover ready to explore distant planets. Everyone will get the chance to explore and investigate the challenges of space travel and put problem-solving and collaboration skills to the test through hands-on activities and investigations.

For children who are in Years 3 and 4 this term. This typically corresponds to children aged around 7–9 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.
