Space- The Solar System and Beyond with Astronauts!
During June 2006, we supported Careers Scotland's "Blast off to Science" events in primary schools, all over Scotland, as part of Scottish Space School. Around 4,000 P5-P7 children had the opportunity to see the specially updated 3D show and meet Astronauts and space scientists. You can find out more about Space - The Solar System & Beyond and booking the show here
Here are some of our favourite images, you can click on the images for a larger image.
Space - The
Solar System and Beyond, is a 35-40 minute program and usually
four or five shows can be provided in a school day. The number of children
per show will be determined by the size of room, which must have good
blackout. Most AV rooms will accommodate a minimum of 20 children plus
our large
2.4m screen and stereoscopic 3D projection system. Large audiences of
over 50 can be possible where room size permits. However,
we recommend that a single class, around 30 pupils, is best if they are
doing or have recently done the Space topic, as this allows us more time
for questions afterwards.
After school sessions and special events can also be provided, please
ask for details.
Book now!
Only £250 +

This includes up to five shows within normal school hours, additional
shows after hours can be added for a small additional fee.
