*A three year development programme to EMDA to establish a Space Academy for STEM Education, regionally based but national in scope
*Project Lead: National Space Centre
*Partners: University of Leicester, University of Nottingham, STEMNET, Science Learning Centre East Midlands
*Affiliates : The EMDA STEM partnership; Aim Higher; regional SETPOINTS, National and Regional Space and Aerospace Companies, Knowledge Transfer Networks

Space Academy Aims*To provide existing and new education programmes that use space as the inspiration tool to motivate young people to choose science, technology and engineering for their career paths
*To deliver sustained space-related STEM education programmes throughout the region, progressively covering Key Stages 2 through 5 – with a focus on 14-19 students and targeting regional colleges and hard- to-reach schools
*To link with businesses and employers, with particular focus on high value space and aerospace sectors
*To provide relevant workforce skills training for the high-tech business sector
*To provide educational resources and training opportunities for teachers and educators that fit the national STEM agenda and the new STEM curricula

What is distinctive about this programme?
• A sustained, progressive programme of curriculum support in STEM subjects
• Works simultaneously with learners, educators and industry• Couples the inspirational contexts of space and climate change• Programme is developed in conjunction with
nationally/internationally recognised experts in space science, education and industry
• Education content for students to be created and delivered in partnership with recognised Lead Educators / ASTs
• Addresses both academic and vocational pathways from the outset

“Awayday to Mars”……AS/A2 curricula areas
•The nature of gravity•Newton’s Laws and momentum changes/conservation•Orbits and escape velocity•Terminal velocity and drag forces•Electromagnetic spectrum•Ideal gas behaviour and phase changes•Electrical power, inverse square laws and the photoelectric effect

Beyond the STEM agenda-space communications and the public understanding of science
•Does it really matter? – after all, those who need to know, know•What’s our role as a space community in this “public awareness” business? – we didn’t do media studies at University!
![Page 19: UK Space Conference: Space Academy (Anu Ojha)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052116/5a65c9237f8b9ab21e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The vision…..
“to improve public and political recognition of the value of space systems as part of the critical national infrastructure”
![Page 20: UK Space Conference: Space Academy (Anu Ojha)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052116/5a65c9237f8b9ab21e8b45af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The strategic outcome by 2012…..
“increased public recognition that space is important to our economic success”
