Space Camp is inspiring the next generation of explorers with a week-long adventure guiding students through the wonders of space, science, and technology - made possible by a joint initiative with Lockheed Martin, Viasat Inc., and the National Space Academy.
Each partner is fully committed to strengthening the UK space sector by inspiring the next generation to explore the possibilities of space.
Through hands-on experimentation, expert insights, and real-world applications, Space Camp is igniting a renewed passion for space. The tailored experience will explore astronomy, satellite communications, space engineering, and many other key areas. The engaging workshops and activities will allow students to learn about space while gaining essential technical skills.
With fully subsidised costs, including meals and transport, this programme represents a unique educational opportunity that paves the way for future success in the space sector.
The Space Camps are designed for year 6 and 12 pupils. These pivotal years are crucial for harnessing young people’s interest in space, and we’re excited to show them the path to a compelling career in the sector.
