Space Week 2025 Events
Planetary Science School Workshops
We are delighted to be offering curriculum-linked Key Stage 3 planetary science workshops, delivered by planetary scientists using real extraterrestrial rock samples!
Like Earth Science in general, planetary science is taught across many subjects in the school curriculum, but is not highlighted as its own subject. We want to inspire more young people to become Earth and Planetary Scientists, using the exciting context of space to inspire curiosity about the world around us and interest in science.
Date: 4, 5, 26 and 28 February 2025
Time: Morning slots (10.30am–12pm) and afternoon slots (1pm–2.30pm) are available on each date.
Venue: Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BG
Booking: The workshops are free and open to all, but advance booking is required. To book a workshop, please email [email protected]
