Activities:

NASA is working towards humans flying to Mars in the next decade. How would you land on Mars? We will look at different technologies that engineers and astronauts will need to use to land safely. Build and test your own Mars lander.

Did you know there is a helicopter on Mars? We will look into how difficult it can be to fly there. Make and test your own helicopter, trying different blade designs just like a NASA engineer.

This inclusive event is aimed at disabled/neurodivergent children and young people (and their siblings) aged 7 – 25, who welcome a quieter environment with smaller groups and enjoy focusing on S.T.E.M based activities. There will be opportunities to stretch and challenge children and young adults as appropriate. Children under 10 years old need to be accompanied by an adult.
Cost: £5 per child, per session  (accompanying adults are free)
