Space School Soars to Success


Dundee school children were inspired in White Space when their heroes landed in the city. Astronauts and science specialists from Space Centre Houston made a visit as part of the ever popular Space School.

Youngsters gained valuable experience from the many activities on offer throughout this programme by creating space suits, flying model rockets and building Mars rover robots.

In conjunction with STEM, pupils were encouraged to give science, maths and engineering a second look. By coming to the University of Abertay they can also see that as well as being a learning environment, it is a place where ideas can really lift off.

The course culminated with a graduation ceremony for our young space cadets and the hope many will reach for the stars in their careers.
