This project aims to increase:- enjoyment and engagement in cross-curricular STEAM lessons using space as a context- pupil aspirations and attainment levels in STEAM subjects- knowledge of higher education and career opportunities available to pupils who study STEAM- teacher confidence in teaching space topics in the classroom- teacher knowledge of STFC and ESERO resources and supporting websitesThe aim of this project is to inspire students from low science capital areas to continue an interest in STEAM subjects by exposing them to a variety of astronomy and space topics. Using our proven awe-inspiring 3D educational space shows and hands-on fun, engaging 3D Space/Art workshops, AstroCymru will focus on inspiring the next generation of space scientists and artists as well as highlighting the benefits of further studying STEAM.We also intend to increase awareness of the many different careers in the space industry and the arts sector. This will support raising attainment levels and career aspirations of pupils living in areas of high unemployment and child deprivation.Extensive experience of working in primary schools in these areas has shown that pupils are unaware of the various career paths in the space industry and many have never heard of the UK Space Agency. AstroCymru will raise awareness of STFC facilities, STFC research and future career opportunities.
