Run by Tech Cornwall, Mission to Mars is an exciting, future-focused programme that has inspired students for over a decade.
It combines flexible online learning with an optional in-person event, giving young people the chance to explore real-world technology careers.
Students start with a 20-hour online work experience they can complete at their own pace.
What’s included:
Students must complete the remote component by February 2026 to qualify for the in-person event.
