Student masterclasses
Physics and Space Science Masterclasses
Our masterclasses are intensive, curriculum-focused sessions involving hands-on activities, numerical and modelling challenges, as well as discussion of the UK space industry and space careers.
We run masterclasses for students aged 11 to 19 all over the UK, and at our dedicated teaching lab at the National Space Centre. Our outstanding team of teachers are based in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
We can deliver our masterclasses:
- At the National Space Centre in Leicester, in our dedicated lab (with access to unique space artefacts in class)
- In your school
- In another suitable venue on request
We will work with you to focus on your specific needs. From encouraging students struggling to understand complex content, to challenging students who need more stretch in their work.
Masterclasses at the National Space Centre include a planetarium show and an opportunity to explore our galleries.
Every masterclass includes:
- Expert teaching using the inspirational context of space
- Opportunities for student discussion
- Examples of careers relating to the space sector
- Curriculum content
- Practical, hands-on activities and exciting demonstrations
- Exploration of how space science affects our daily lives
- Teamwork, communication and problem solving
