Airbus Foundation Discovery Space - Key Stage 2
Airbus Foundation Discovery Space is a unique education centre located in Stevenage. Open during term time for school trips and other group bookings, we offer a range of science shows, investigation workshops and make & take activities designed to instill a passion for science, technology, engineering and maths from an early age.
Established in 2017 as a partnership between North Hertfordshire College, Airbus, Airbus Foundation and the Hertfordshire LEP, Airbus Foundation Discovery Space combines the inspirational power of the ExoMars Rover mission with a stimulating education programme linked to the Key Stage 2 and 3 science curriculum. From our viewing gallery visitors can see the Mars Yard where Airbus scientists and engineers are putting the next Mars Rover through its paces in preparation for launch in 2020.
These resources support pre and post activities in school linked to the themes and curriculum areas that pupils can engage with on a visit to Airbus Foundation Discovery Space.
