Looking for
something a bit different, which the children will enjoy whilst learning all
the time?
Welcome to
the National Space Center - a new
attraction, educational facility and research centre decided to the subject of
space science.
Be wowed by
rockets, satellites and other space capsules (and learn what they’re used for
and how they work). Have a go at presenting the weather in 2050. Experience
what a launch in a space shuttle in like (and learn about the
effects that going into space can have on your body).
With a whole
array of interactive challenges, audio-visual presentations and real space
artefacts the National Space Centre in unlike any attraction you’ve visited
in UK before.
It’s more
than a whole lot of fun, however. We offer a range of educational programmes
designed to help your pupils learn about science, maths and technology.
Whenever you book a visit to the Space Centre, you’ll be provided with
activities for the classroom.
Groups take
part in realistic simulated space missions, with crew members becoming
astronauts, engineers and researchers exposed to the maths, science and
technology of a space mission. This also demands co-operation, effective
communication, the ability to solve all sorts of problems and to make decisions
that might mean the difference between life and death.
Becoming a
scientist is just part of the experience. Mission uniforms, communication
headsets, computer workstations and a completely themed work area ensure
complete immersion in the mission. Do you have what it takes to be an
astronaut? This is the place to find out – test your reaction times and
stress levels and discover more about the “who, what, why and how” of going
into space. Have you ever wondered how astronauts live in space – what do they
eat, how do they go to the toilet and even shower? Look to the future of the International
Space Station and see whether the conditions will change your mind
about going into space after all.
The
Challenger Learning Centre is unique outside North America. Do you think this
might be the voyage of discovery your class has been waiting for? The only
limit to your learning is your imagination…
