Calling all Space Apprentices! Are you ready to journey into space with ESA Astronaut Tim Peake?

From astronaut training to conducting experiments and observing Earth from beyond our atmosphere, students complete over 60 hours of STEM-literacy activities while they read, write, design, draw, experiment, code and decode. Its multimodal, hands-on and personalised approach foster student confidence and engagement, while embedding STEM learning.
