Our project impact advisor Jen DeWitt gives teachers an overview of research into the concept of science capital. The 13-minute video gives tips on how it can be applied in the classroom and across the school community.
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!

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.
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.
A teacher training session where the aims and objectives of the Our Space Our Project are introduced to teachers and educators. It is also an opportunity for teachers to learn about the recent growth within the space sector and the diversity of space-related careers that are available.
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.
A true challenge where students will have to face the laws of physics to complete their mission.
