Live and Online National Space Centre
Space-flavoured summer activities for kids, 10 July-5 September
If you’re going to be in charge of little people this summer, you can find lots of hands-on, fun, space stuff to do courtesy of the National Space Centre in Leicester. The centre, which is celebrating its 20th birthday, is running Earth from Space sessions, looking at the role of satellites in Earth observation, with a trail to spot the replicas around the centre, including Sputnik, Prospero and Orion-1. With group sizes kept small, booking is essential.
For home activities, see the centre’s ‘Space Crafts’ sections on its website: you can create an exoplanet, make a DIY spectroscope, try out astronaut training and more. spacecentre.co.uk/whats-on…
