UK Space Agency invites you to gain the first insights into their major new inspiration programme, currently under development. Over the coming three years the programme will raise awareness among young people and the public of the value of space, as well as inspire young people to pursue STEM through classroom engagement and tackle ever present challenges in diversity, and support space skills to ensure the sustainability of the sector.
You will then see how space professionals are engaging UK youth directly through the “One Million Interactions” programme, ending with the special recognition of an amazing individual and organisation.
