Join Tech She Can on Tuesday 24th September at 9:30am, when their Curriculum and Resources Lead (and experienced teacher), Poppy, will deliver a free virtual 45 minute Tech We Can LIVE lesson for students aged 11 - 14.
This will be an interactive session where the children will be guided to complete paper based tasks and partner discussions - they therefore need to be based at a table with a piece of paper and pen/pencil.
In the session, Poppy will highlight the role technology plays in helping astronauts stay healthy in space, how technology can be used to communicate with people in space and even how technology helps keep astronauts entertained. Poppy will also show some of the careers within space technology that students could pursue in the future. The students will also have the opportunity to hear from some space technology role models.
