Destination Mars

Skills Development Scotland and Science Skills Academy Present
DESTINATION MARS
Destination Mars is a space-themed 3-days long summer school for S1-S2 pupils in the Highlands of Scotland. The central theme of the school is Mars, Engineering and Science. Participants will take part in interactive workshops and science learning activities delivered by leading science educators, scientists, engineers and industry partners. The school is part of a UK-wide initiative coordinated by the Association of Science and Discovery Centres to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Lunar Landing. The overarching goal of the school is inspiring and encourage young people in Caithness and Sutherland to consider careers in STEM in general and space. This is especially relevant because of the plans to build the UK’s only spaceport in the most remote and rural part of Northern Scotland. The summer school aims for a 50-50 gender balance participation.
