Theme your visit – Rocket

If your class includes budding engineers, why not add optional ‘Rocket’ sessions to your programme at the center?

During this interactive learning experience, students will discover the basics of space engineering. And after a lesson on propulsion systems and stability in flight, they’ll be able to build and launch their own rockets. A sure fire way to make sure they have a blast!
