UK Space Agency - Our Space website and competition for schools
Richard Garriott, British-born computer games pioneer and astronaut, has made available a fantastic video library of science experiments he performed on his visit to the International Space Centre in 2008.
For schools in the UK, Richard has also set up a special challenge: can your students turn all of this fantastic space stuff into an amazing 'space story' to win some out-of-this-world prizes?
As well as an expenses-paid trip to the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida and Johnson Space Centre in Texas, the galaxy of cool prizes includes visits to the House of Commons, special entry tickets to Farnborough Futures Day, tickets to the National Space Centre, World Space Week invitations to Intech, an iPod Touch, and signed goodies from Richard Garriott and Lucy Hawking, daughter of physicist Professor Stephen Hawking.
To see the amazing videos, find out more about the competition and get tips on how to create a digital space adventure check out the Our Space website. (link opens in a new window)
Our space is part funded by a UK Space Agency Space for All (link opens in a new window) grant.
