Overview
Travel to the International Space Station in this breath-taking immersive workshop, where students move around the ISS in zero gravity virtual reality.
This isn't a 360° video, it's a fully interactive 3D environment students can freely navigate and explore. They observe the solar system, learn about rocket launches, and discover how curriculum topics from physics, maths and design & technology are used in the UK's growing space industry.
The experience meets Gatsby benchmarks and links classroom learning to real careers and labour market information.
Every session is delivered in your school by a qualified teacher who adapts the content to your learners.
No equipment needed: Immersive Pathways bring everything and set up in your hall or classroom.
Designed to be inclusive and engaging for all learners, including SEND groups, this workshop is perfect for STEM enrichment days, science weeks and careers education.
Cost
Available in England from £599 and up to £899 depending on location.
