Training Day


The training day on 10th April will focus on outreach with Key Stages 2 and 3 (ages 7-14) and cover three main areas. A provisional program can be found here and location information can be found here.

Workshop 1: Space curriculum in schools and safeguarding

In this session you will learn what space related topics are covered in the Key Stage 2 and 3 curriculum. It's important to know what is already being taught in schools so that as an Student Ambassador you know what level of detail to pitch your presentation at. It also means you can ask students questions on topics they have already covered and reference them without needing to explain them.

Workshop 2: Practical demos for workshops

Practical workshops are a fantastic way of teaching and engaging students in a topic. Physically doing or making something is bound to be an exciting and memorable time for the students, be it a small class workshop, group competition, or an individual task making something that the students can take home. In this session you will be shown some of the many resources from RAS and ESERO-UK and learn how to run the practical activities.

Workshop 3: Confident communication skills

This session will help everyone, not matter how confident you are in your communication and presentation skills. It won’t immediately make you a professional communicator, but will give you the pointers and tips that can lead your way to becoming one. It will also differentiate between communication techniques and language best suited to different age groups, important for being an effective Student Ambassador. You will improve with every activity that you do, putting into practice the skills you learn in this session. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this!
