Space and Astronomy Workshops

The theme of the 2012 Olympics was "Inspire a generation".

If the Olympics can inspire the next generation of athletes, why shouldn't the amazing achievements in space inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers?

Are you looking for a way to inspire your pupils - or your workers?
Contact me to book a day of space activities or a presentation on space.

Would you like a fun and inspiring session on astronomy and space at your school?
Would you like your pupils to be excited and entertained?

Book a day of activities that bring science alive!

You can also book workshops for universities, and as team-building sessions for companies. How will your teams fare competing for the "Eggs-Prize"?
Will they have the eggspertise? Will they eggseed their eggspectations or will their eggstronaut crack up on landing and eggspire . . .
