Primary School Students in Years 3 to 6 are invited to STEM Club

Come along and join us for a 'Journey to the Moon'

Students will step into the role of an astronaut, and explore what it might be like to live away from planet Earth!

Across 6 sessions, we'll learn about the landscape of the Moon, and investigate:

How gravity changes
Why rovers are important
Being part of a crew (and what you might have to eat!)

Along the way, we'll be using creativity and STEM skills, to design and make equipment for astronauts to:

Travel to the Moon
Collect scientific samples
Perform a rescue mission.
