Video Conferencing

Have you ever wanted to take part in a Space mission but are unable to make it to the National Space Centre?

Well, there is a simple way you can take part from your own classroom! We offer e-Missions and Video Conferences to suit your needs.

Virtual Classroom is a great way to bring the National Space Centre to your school and doesn't necessarily require much equipment. 

With just a webcam, microphone, computer and a broadband connection, your students can work together to complete challenges, coordinated through our Mission Commanders here at the National Space Centre!

Once you have booked your mission date we will arrange a free test connection to ensure your video conference runs smoothly.
