Scottish Space SchoolPhoto gallery
Throughout the Space School week in June, the pupils take part in a variety of activities to find out more about the different engineering disclipines on offer, and to help them when making that all important decision about what to study at university. Our gallery shows some of the fun activities and experiences that you might take part in, and the interesting people that you might meet, if you attend the Scottish Space School.

Every year NASA guests attend the Scottish Space School to meet and work alongside the pupils - in 2012 we welcomed Astronauts Ron Garan and Mike Baker and NASA Engineer Heather Paul.
Every year a Big Project is assigned and pupils work in teams of 10 and present their idea at the end of the week to the NASA guests who decide on the winner.
