Unlock your inner astronaut and learn all about space in this fact-packed event from Kate Pankhurst – the bestselling creator of the Fantastically Great Women series.
From discovering what shooting stars are really made of and learning how to complete a spacewalk, to rocket-building lessons and space shuttle trips, Pankhurst’s event will involve some dressing up, lots of props and even a draw-along. Mixing science, technology, engineering, and maths topics with a sweet story of figuring out your place in the world, Pankhurst’s new series is an accessible, fun and friendly introduction to space for the next generation of space-travellers, whoever they may be.
Pankhurst is a distant relative of the suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst. She is author of Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, Fantastically Great Women: Scientists and their Stories and others in the Fantastically Great Women series. She will be introduced by Andrew Kensley of Science Oxford.
