The activity was designed to be very flexible so as to cope with differing session lengths (often 30 to 60mins)

45–55-minute interactive show that features 6 space industry role models that demonstrate the breadth of their careers and the diversity of people doing them. The space industry is for everyone! Science Made Simple presents the show, students watch, consider questions, and help with demonstrations. A recording of this show is available below, and schools and other education organsations can replicate this experience for their chosen audeinces.

What would your community like to learn about space? Have your students question their friends and family about what they would like to learn about. Then have your class plan an event, with fun and educational activities and help answer the questions their community has!

Share what your students have been learning about with a tour of a virtual museum. Invite their friends and family to take a look at the variety of work they have done and the science behind it all. This community activity could also be done as a VR experience.

Ask the experts anything! A multi-platform approach to a “meet the researcher” format, where students are introduced to the work of a number of researchers from multiple fields. With video introductions shared with the school and over social media, followed by either an in-house or online presentation, with a QnA, where pupils can ask the experts anything, and the experts try and provide answers. This activity is done in class and conducted over multiple lessons.

Introduce your class to an expert and give your students the freedom to ask the experts questions on what they find most interesting about the guests' careers. Afterwards, the students work in groups to develop their own classroom activity on a specific aspect of the discussion and let them share what they have learnt with a different group of students. This is a classroom activity, which can be extended over a number of lessons and can incorporate different age groups and subjects.

What space research would you invest in? Give your students the power in this Dragon’s Den format. Three hopeful space sector experts come into the den hoping to win over your students. After pitching their research, the students vote on the expert they liked the most and what area of space science they would want to invest their money with.

Join the Science Made Simple team as they introduce why the space industry is so important for all of us, in this 36 minute video for 11-14-year-olds. This is followed up with a 15-minute Question and Answer session to understand which elements of the show each student enjoyed most and what the students think are the most important topics for future research?

Students work together to solve a number of challenges in relation to ensuring supply of oxygen, energy, and food in order to survive on Mars.

Students work together in groups to design their "mission to Mars". Each team select examine experiments and set up a plan on how they want to achieve these goals. The focus of this activity is on collaboration and using transdisciplinary thinking to solve problems.
