For the past year, ELATT’s Space in the Community project, generously funded by the UK Space Agency, has been inspiring students and making STEM subjects more accessible and engaging. Through hands-on learning, expert talks, and film screenings, the project has created an exciting platform for young learners to explore space science, sustainability, and technology.
Now, we are thrilled to announce the culmination of this journey—the Space in the Community exhibition at RichMix, running from Wednesday, 26 February to Friday, 28 February 2025.
This exhibition will showcase the incredible work of our students, featuring interactive displays, student projects, multimedia content and STEM learning experiences throughout the programme. The exhibition will be open to the public after the launch event, providing an opportunity for visitors to explore the work and achievements of our students.
Over the past year, students have engaged in STEM learning in London, participating in interactive space projects and activities designed to spark curiosity about space exploration and future careers in space science.
Film Screenings & Expert Talks: Through our Sci-Fi Film Club, students attended exclusive screenings of films like Gravity, The Martian, Moon, and First Man. Each screening was followed by discussions with leading experts, including:
These sessions helped students connect space exploration with real-world applications, from climate science to artificial intelligence.
Space Club & Hands-On Learning: Students participated in weekly Space Club sessions, where they explored different aspects of space science and technology through activities such as:
Additionally, students gained insight into space careers and the financial aspects of space exploration, thanks to talks by UBS financial experts, focusing on private companies like SpaceX and satellite technology.
Ethics & Innovation in Space Exploration: Students debated the ethics of space resource utilisation, tackling critical issues such as asteroid mining, lunar exploration, and satellite deployment. These discussions encouraged critical thinking about space sustainability and the future of exploration.
Science Museum Visit: In December, students visited the Science Museum in London, where they explored space exhibits, interacted with cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology, and gained insights into the latest advancements in space science.
