An Astronaut at School
Inspiring, achievable and unforgettable!
Having an Astronaut visit your school, meet with staff and students, share their experiences and give a unique insight to space exploration is a truly unique experience, and one that will have a lasting effect, both for the school, staff and especially students.
Can we get an astronaut to visit our school?
Yes, but it’s important to be realistic. Astronauts are in high demand and visits require significant advance notice, often months. Most visits also involve professional speaking fees and travel costs, which schools are required to contribute towards.
If your school is flexible on dates and able to budget for the costs involved, astronaut visits can be an extraordinary and inspiring experience for students. We’re happy to help schools explore what’s possible with the right expectations in place.
While standalone, exclusive visits are possible to meet specific dates, they are subject to availability and incur significant costs. Our standard process is to share visits across multiple schools, each sharing the costs making it more viable and realistic. We aim to provide the lowest cost possible and we provide all our own internal services for free.
With early planning, clear educational goals, and an appropriate budget, astronaut visits can align extremely well with science, careers, and STEM enrichment programmes.
If you are aligned with the planning and budget requirements, we welcome your request.
